Hi folks, Im totally new to * but I went ahead and told my boss that it was the way to go for our new telephone system :) now I have a test box and two cisco phones and a brand new modem card. Im having plenty of trouble with learning all the config stuff but ill leave that for another day. ie: a few days after I rtfm. My modem card, once installed in the box (FC2 by the way) was detected by linux and installed perfectly no probs. but now I dont know how to make * recognise it? How can I tell if it is even compatible with *? I dont think all the usual options of buying the compatible cards are open to me because im in Japan. We have a bunch of ISDN lines and TAs to use, so if im out of luck with the modem I bought perhaps Id have a better chance with an ISDN card? your thoughts/comments/suggestions are appreciated. cheers, Mick
Mick San, I wish you luck. I am in Japan also and like others in the list, what you have to worry less is about the configs.. get some samples in the wiki site and go for it. If you need some help, feel free to ask. But, be prepared for some headache to make it working well with NTT FXO lines.... Again, good luck!

Hello Asterisk users, Well standard modem will not work. You need to get a card designed to work with a PBX check out http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+Hardware For a list of compatible asterisk hardware. Just for testing you can get X100p compatible cards for around $30... The reason for specific hardware is you are not using it as a modem.. you are using it as a gateway to a standard phone line. Which a standard modem can not do.
