[Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk do the following for me ?

Hey guys, I am aware that Asterisk may be a bit overkill for what I need but I
haven't found any other software. Here's what I need to do:

I have 1 computer with 2 modems in it. Each modem (regular 56k )is plugged into
a different phone line ( line A and line B ).

Whenever a call comes on line A, a software application should automatically
dial a fixed number on line B and form a connection between the two ends.

In other words:

call comes into modem, software dials a fixed number on second line, makes the
connection and it works as if the caller dialed the end number.

Why do I need this ? I currently use Vonage in an European country so that my
North American friends can call me localy. The problem is that this North
American phone number is only available at home and not when I'm outside,
travelling, etc.

Using call forwarding would require me to set up Vonage to forward calls to an
international number and thus it will cost me extra! But, if I can manage to
get the incoming Vonage call into a computer, then have the computer dial my
local cell phone number and patch the incoming call I would have access to
incoming North American calls everywhere and much cheaper too!

Notice I only want this to happen one way, in the direction I described and not
the other way around!

So..does anyone know if Asterisk can do this, or another ( simpler ) software ?
Also, would it work with regular 56k modems ?

P.S. Only a voice call would come into Asterisk, no VoIP stuff and only voice
should go out ( transit the system )

The short answer is Yes. However, you would need X100P cards and not regular
modem cards. These cards can be found on eBay for about $7 each.

AW: [Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk do the following for me ?

Why don't you use Vonage (what ever that might be :) to forward to a
free account at a sip or iax phone provider somewhere in the world, make
your European asterisk register with that account and dial out locally?
:)

Of course this and much furtehr similar works! :)

Don't forget you may like to support digium by buying an official
tdm400P  

I know more expensive then a $7 clone but will work better on lines
different to the 600ohm US pstn

Cheers,
Dean

Excellent news!

Now, remember that I am in Europe and out of my Linksys VoIP router I
have a phone line coming out which I believe is North American standard.

I am really not knowledgeable enough about the differences in both
Networks so do I need a special card for Europe ?

Otherwise, I'm set to purchase 2 X100P cards!

Have you check on what price a nec ip pabx is going for lately?

Whilst I appreciate that digium should be selling their cards for less -
if there was no digium there would be no asterisk - therefore price of
clones x00p's is irrelevant.

[Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk do the following for me ?

Hello,

that is even possible without "MODEM" hardware. It should work with a 
simple call forwarder/diverter. It connects to both line ends and works 
more or less like a analogue 2-port pbx with a fixed programmable 
forwarding number. Offered e.g. in Germany from AUERSWALD (A-BOX) 
http://www.auerswald.de/int/products/auerswald_box/box_intro.htm or at EBAY 
...like here http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6386901484

No modems or VoIP equipment except the ATA is needed at all for this ...

regards,

J?rgen
