So, heute das erste mal Rollenspiel via Internet betrieben. Nein, kein MMORPG, kein IRC-Spiel sondern klassisches Pen and Paper! Über Skype! Ich sag Euch, das geht überraschend gut. Allerdings sollte ich mir für das nächste Mal ein Headset zulegen; die Kumpels wiesen auf ein ominöses Goldfischglas hin, aus den ich angeblich sprach…
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!
