asterisk users - Aug 2003 - Virtual extension as local modem

Hi,

There is any possibility to define a virtual extension on the asterisk box
to act as a local modem?
This is the scenario I think of:
- call Asterisk from PSTN throug the X100P card.
- answer the call and prompt the user with a menu.
- dial a special extension (long number) where you get a data modem type
answer and connect.
I want to enable a RAS server on te same box, using a single PSTN line.
I don't want to use something like an ATA for this purpose ( I don't
even
think that you gen get a decent data connection speed).
The ideal thing will be to emulate a real modem through the serial port
(make the linux box to act as a serial modem for another computer). Then you
can define another computer as a fax/data(RAS) box.

Do you thik this is something feasable?
Any comments are wellcome.

Thanks,
Dan

Only if you have another FXS port and a real modem connected to that and
you bridge the call between FXS and FXO in asterisk.

regards
Martin
