It is possible to use Asterisk as a dialup PPP server, but only if you are doing PRI between the telco and Asterisk (see core show application DAHDIRAS).
You could bring analog POTS lines into a dialup server (Portmaster maybe?) if PRI is too expensive. Can outsource your dialup customers to a national network? You could simply stop providing dialup service. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of C F Sent: Monday, August 29, 2011 4:18 PM To: [email protected]; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] Dragging the dialup customers along, possible? >From what you are asking it appears that you are trying to run similar to a >fax (modulation and demodulation) over VoIP. Try again, the fact that you succeeded twice was pure luck, and as far as I understand that didn't even work out. Switch back to TDM. Your dial up modems want that magic thing called timing and no jitter that only TDM will give you.
