[TriLUG] Has anyone looked at gizmo?

[tomed at barq.itsco.com]

Tested Gizmo today, and it does in fact send tones. I was able to access my cell phone voice box, no problem. Seemed to have smoother duplex support - it can take advantage of alsa.

Retried Skype, and still no go on sending tones. Still limited to oss drivers.
