Oh, friend... I have realised just yesterday that's impossible to use regular modems (say hayes/v90 33.6 or 56k) to plug asterisk to the world. I can't figure out why. But they simply don't support it. If you want to use your isdn modem to plug * to the world, it's OK. Else... Only just one modem kind is supported and, surprisingly it's a winmodem, from Intel. It's Intel 537 w/ chipset MD32000. That's the sole only modem supported to be used as a * node to link to the PSTN (telco) and start to make calls from within the VoIP network (or whatever that passes throught asterisk). I'm thinking in sending a mail for asking WHY THE HELL they can't support bare modems, even if they have voice support (I have an USR w/ voice, 56k and ISA kind, and I simply can't use it for testing an * box). Also, I think that with that computer you can gladly test you * implementation as long as you don't use much concurrent connections.

Google is your friend, as well as the wiki, don't leave home without it : :-)

As someone else mentioned, the winmodem will pass all the info to the host CPU, while a "regular" modem will not.
In .br you will find vendors for these cards, from what I understand, few have pointed even some stores (SP, St Efigenia) that sell these.
From what I can see in the asterisk-br, just found a RJ address:
"LE Compustore Placa Modem Intel com chip MD3200 Procurar : Aline Compustore 21 2262-7169 Av. Rio Branco 156 Loja 301"
On the Why the heck :-) part, I guess that you can try to fund any other development you may need, keep in mind that, while the "Hayes/V90, USR w/voice" and etc would not work, maybe others winmodems can have a driver developed ?
I've tested (and keep using at home) the Sipura 3000, seems to work well enough, and I may even get rid of my FXO card, just need to understand clearly the timing gotcha x conference (the FXO does timing to merge the audio streams AFAIK).
