Dialup quality is going to be very very poor to the point of not being usable most of the time. You should use a service that has a low bandwidth codec that works well like Skype or Teleo. The Codecs for Asterisk do not like dialup. I have heard that Speex might work ok but I havent tried it. Only Firefly supports it as far as I know.

Just have him install a softphone on his pc, connect to the internet, and register on your * box. Use a high compression codec. It is impossible to get g.711 to work over a POTS line. _______________________________________________ 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 _______________________________________________ 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
