How will this fare? I am planning on putting an asterisk box for my brother in the Philippines but they only have dialup internet. I want them to be able to use a telephone set on a phonejack or linejack card and call me and vice versa via VOIP. My setup in the US is working already with a broadband cable connection. I am thinking that dialup may not work because of the bandwidth required unless I can use the onbord G723.1 codecs on the quicknet cards. Ohphone allows this through h323 I think but I want an asterisk solution. If not a fullblown asterisk install on my brothers machine, maybe set it up as a h323 client to mine. I am currently working on setting up one of my lan machines with ohphone to connect to my asterisk box to call FWD and such. Is this possible? Somehow asterisk must translate the codecs from whatever SIP uses to whatever ohphone uses ( I will force it to low bandwitdh g723.1). I am hoping this will work and that the Vonage interconnect will be up soon as this will be a cheap way for them to contact my sister as well. I am still an asterisk newbie so pardon me if the questions seem newbie-ish. Has anybody gone down this path? I hate to have to reinvent the wheel. Anybody have any ideas?

Just have him install a softphone on his pc, connect to the internet, and register on your * box. Use a high compression codec. It is impossible to get g.711 to work over a POTS line.
Dialup quality is going to be very very poor to the point of not being usable most of the time. You should use a service that has a low bandwidth codec that works well like Skype or Teleo. The Codecs for Asterisk do not like dialup. I have heard that Speex might work ok but I havent tried it. Only Firefly supports it as far as I know.

I've actually used xten lite on a mac using GSM codec on a dialup connection. Worked like a hot damn. I was quite surprised, actually.....
