Editor review:

Carousel Telephony Adapter is a simple software tool that works to connect Internet phone calls via VoIP technology to conventional analogue telephone lines, and vice versa, using any telephonic device.

The program works as if it were a virtual FXO catwalk. It installs as a normal and current Windows service in any PC with Windows systems. The VoIP calls made are redirected to standard analogue PSTN lines, via a telephonic board.
