While your message is a good one: > No modems will work other than one particular modem design based on > the Intel/Ambient MD3200 chipset. Anything that does not use the this > chip *will not work*. I think there's a FAR better one to send. If you don't know what you're doing, USE THE EFFING SUPPORTED HARDWARE. The only thing I find MORE annoying than people asking if their FooWare $0.25 modem that was in their mom's computer will work it's people who come in and say "What's the ABSOLUTE BAREST MINIMUM SMALLEST hardware I need to run Asterisk?" People -- if you have to ask, you are *not* sufficiently experienced to try and optimize an Asterisk install! Premature optimization is *the* number one cause of unhappy Asterisk users. Get it working, *THEN* start to play around. Hell, if you get the FooWare modems to work with *, write it up so others can learn from your experiences... but FFS do NOT start throwing these kinds of questions around! -A. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
