What are hosts?

Hosts are computers turned into Forklore answering machines that serve as the interface between the Forklore repository and callers dialing in on a telephone. A host is dedicated to a telephone line and serves selected projects to callers using the IVR model (interactive voice response) which utilizes the DTMF standard (numerical keypad input for selecting options). A host can be set up in any number of ways, using any combination of software/hardware solutions. Forklore provides software for interfacing with the Forklore server and the processing of caller selections, as well as other resources and instructions for interfacing with the public telephone network or VoIP.
