Voice Channel Support

The VOX environment supports up to 36 analog voice channels in a single workstation. The number of channels that your REXX programs can realistically use at one time depends on the following factors:

• Peak load requirements
• Your workstation CPU type and speed
• The access time of your workstation's hard disk drive
• Whether the voice files reside in memory or remain stored on disk

The VOX environment can do the following:

• Answer and process incoming calls
• Place outgoing telephone calls, digital pager (beeper) calls, or alphanumeric pager calls using the pager applications
• Obtain and process DTMF (touch-tone) responses from a remote party
• Record a voice message from a remote party onto a disk file
• Send additional tone digits after establishing a connection
