Most VoiP systems don't play very well with old tone-encoded protocols like modems or FAX machines, but if you have a POTS line or can get it to work with VoiP then most modems will let you dial out with either TT or pulse and also answer incoming calls.
FWIW there are cell-phone to 'normal' phone adapters out there; e.g.:: https://www.cell2jack.com/ I've never tried any of mine and I'd be surprised if it worked any better than 'normal' VoiP, but might be worth trying. m On Sun, Feb 26, 2023 at 8:40 AM grima...@gmail.com <grima...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Jesse, > > Do you happen to have any more details on your setup? > > I suppose in an ideal world, I’d like a setup that I can dial out from my > rotary phone, and a second line that I could dial in to a modem. > > How difficult does that sound?
