asterisk users - Dec 2006 - ssh access using zaptel channel to dial in.

Has anyone done this, or have a thought on how to do it.
 
I forsee it working like this...
 
Dial in to a main greeting, dial an extension using a modem string like
782-XXXX,,,##409*. The extension would some kind of modem emulator. I
know this compromises security. I was hoping to use an authenticate app
in there as well. My main question is using the zap hardware and some
kind of dialplan app to accomplish this

This sounds like a whole lot of unnecessary complication.  Why not
just use a regular old modem connected to a serial interface on the
computer you want to get CLI access to?  No need to involve asterisk
at all.  For security, let the OS handle authentication.

Old school? Yes, but it works.

The issue is that modem generator, first it would not even be reliable
unless it was a TDM connection, if you are using analog lines why would you
do that when you can use a regular modem? If you are using ISDN then the
issue is where do you get the modem from? I wonder if perhaps spandsp could
support this?
