Orkpiraten

Wel­come to the future: Thanks to stun­ning bre­ak­th­roughs in tech­no­logy, even the most sim­ple of things aren’t pos­si­ble anymore.

Namely: Atta­ching a second hand­set with muted micro­phone to a Cisco 7940 Voice over IP Telephone.

The actual end-user request is the following:

„If A is tal­king to «cust­o­mer», B should be able to lis­ten in wit­hout «cust­o­mer» being aware of this. If need ari­ses, B should be able to tell A things that «cust­o­mer» shouldn’t be able to hear either.“

The sim­ple solu­tion of per­haps just atta­ching a set of cab­les or some­thing like that of course appa­r­ently isn’t avail­able. Now I’m rea­li­zing that we’re dea­ling with high-tech, and with a voice over IP tele­phony solu­tion. Per­haps one can hack the Cisco Call­ma­na­ger to redi­rect parts of the ongo­ing con­ver­sa­tion to the tele­phone of B?

Should anyone have any ideas for this, send me a mes­sage please!
