Hi Mike, Yes it may work with some modems depending on which chipset they use (in fact there are some advertised as supporting asterisk) however a number of us choose to buy from Digium in order to show our support for how much effort they put in by developing Asterisk.

Or did you just feel like bothering more than 8k people to do your homework for you? It is in the archive with all the included screaming and yelling about how you should support Digium who gives you the software. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>
for voice they may or may not work, but the audio quality is bound to be bad... unless you're really lucky :) On Nov 4, 2004, at 16:10, Mike Shultz wrote:> Quick Question that I hope someone can answer.?

Yes look at Ebay for x100P compatible cards On Thu, 04 Nov 2004 10:10:50 -0500, Mike Shultz <mshultz@vastcs.net> wrote:> Quick Question that I hope someone can answer. Will Asterisk work with > basic PCI FaxModems instead of those expensive cards listed on the hardware > page?

If you know what you're doing, go for it. If not, make use of the support Digium is selling you with the card. -A.
Thanks to everyone who answered my stupid question. I did not see the wiki nor an answer to my question on their main site. My main experience is with a 3Com NBX 25 which is small and really simple so I never had to learn much except the dial plan, which is why most of this is still foreign to me. I have one more question. Are there special interface cards for IP Phone/Network connectivity or is this a job for a basic NIC? I've been reading through the wiki on most of the protocols but it doesn't state what media they run on. I would prefer to run this over the current data network I already have as I would not need to run new cables. I'd rather not use analog phones at all either so I'm not looking for one of those S100I media converters. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- Mike Shultz mshultz@vastcs.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
