asterisk users - Nov 2007 - Can Asterisk act like an ISP dialin server to data callls from Sipura 3000 or other ATA connected devices ?

Hi,

I have an older phone with touch screen from Philips. It have it connected
 to Sipura 3000 FXS port and majority of features work ok.

But phone also has touchscreen and web browser that I'd love to use for
 accessing my local web pages. But the phone only allows me to setup ISP
 phone number (username and password) and it wants to call it to get to 
Internet. Since it is
connected to Sipura3000, call can come to Asterisk and I'd love to somehow
"fool" that device and connect it to local web pages ?

I guess I could somehow mimic ISP "internet calling" feature on local 
Asterisk server, but have no
clue even where to start searching ...

 Any advice ?

 Thanks in advance,

 regards,

 Rob.

Hi Robert,

I researched for something similar about a year ago, and came up with
nothing really worth the work. If you can, try to get another ATA that
has a real, old-fashioned serial modem plugged into it, and limit that
modem to 9600. I think more than that will not work reliably, but you
could of course try.

The only working implementation of software emulating a modem in
conjunction with asterisk I have seen is fax-related, and even there I
read from several people that anything better than 9600 is hardly ever
achieved. The code there is cranked into fax-use though, not modem use,
which would require the PPP bytestream to be off-handed instead of fax
parsing. Perhaps iaxmodem would do that.... No idea.

I'd be interested in how you get that working, if you do indeed.
