The configuration I'm building replaces an existing PBX with Asterisk. There are 8 existing modems that people use to call in from the outside to connect to PC(s) on the inside to transfer data, etc. Callers access these modems by calling the main number and then dialing an extension for the modem they want to talk to. What are my options for supporting these modems with Asterisk? Here are two ideas and some pro's and con's: 1. Use 4 Sipuras (approx. $400). Only problem is, I can't get this to work! Sipura says use the G711 codec but it's not working for me. Anybody have this working? 2. Use 8 FXS ports (approx. $700). Haven't tried this yet but it is more expensive. Other suggestions? Advice? Thanks! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-users/attachments/20040628/7f0b156c/attachment.htm

[Asterisk-Users] Do people actually answer questions here?

Hi, Looks like your message got lost in the thread. On 29/06/2004, at 8:47 AM, John Vogel wrote:> 1. Use 4 Sipuras (approx. $400). Only problem is, I can't get this to > work!

My general experience (and advice I have been given) is that transferring modem data across a network is a bad thing - any jumps in the call, and any lag at all will cause the whole thing to fail. It's generally OK for fax, but remember that fax works at a significantly lower speed to modem transfer.> > 2. Use 8 FXS ports (approx. $700).

I am told (although I haven't had the opportunity to try yet) that when I connect to a digital ISDN line for the incoming calls, I will get better throughput (closer to 56k). That said, this is probably your best option. Andrew -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
