Roger Hardiman ed1e1f00ba Add FreeBSD port of the ixj driver for Quicknet LineJack and
PhoneJack cards.
These ISA and PCI telephony cards allow VoIP and Video Conferencing
using the OpenH323 suite of applications with a standard
telephone handset (including making the phone ring for incomming calls,
allowing dialing via the telephone and using the phone's speaker and mic
for the audio (freeing up the sound card).
They also feature a hardware G.723.1 audio codec making it easier to talk
to NetMeeting and H.323 users.

This is the ixj driver for Quicknet Internet LineJack and PhoneJack
hardware, ported from Linux.
Hardware can be found at http://www.quicknet.com
Note there is a Linux page where hardware can be purchased
without the Windows drivers at a reduced rate. You can then
use these FreeBSD ixj drivers.
The driver is used by the OpenH323 applications
(ohphone, openam and possibly GnomeMeeting in a future release).
It allows a standard telephone to be plugged into a FreeBSD machine
and used for Voice over IP or Video Conferencing.
When making a call, simply lift the handset and dial.
When receiving a call, your normal telephone actually rings.
In addition the cards support G.723.1 audio compression which
means you can communicate with a wider range of H.323 applications
such as NetMeeting, when using a modem to connect to the internet.
The port was originally made by Devin Butterfield <dbutter@wireless.net>
and is now being maintained by Roger Hardiman <roger@freebsd.org>
