Hi, maybe this has been asked before but I couldnt find a proper answer on the web or list. I want to use a analog V.92 modem to make outgoing (and possibly) incoming phone call through a standard analog phone line. I found on web it's easy been done via chan_modem.so module. But this seems removed from asterisk or buggy. So my questions are can I enable chan_modem.so to be built or what other way to connect a modem to asterisk ?

I'd say, save yourself the time and the frustration, drop the idea and buy a real voice card.

The problem is along the lines that the modem uses many more wavelengths and more bandwidth than a regular phone does, so this won't work through the card. I have found that I can send outgoing faxes, and incoming faxes redirected to this modem also work, but I have to patch the modem through directly to the wall plate in order to be able to make dialup connections. --Greg
