 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.

===

This is more of a whimsical statement than a scientific one, but I would
think in today's world, there would be a real small box that would take in
IP and put out TDM with good timing with a moderate buffering window.
Obviously, the IP has to actually get to the box in a timely fashion, like
today , but a TDM circuit has to be up also.

A box that would take in IP data..., look for valid ascii, and otherwise
put out TDM modem tones with no data content for 1 second and then pick up
the data as it catches up.


So you want to develop the equivalent of T.38 for dial up?


It already exists; it's called V.150.

[asterisk-users] Dragging the dialup customers along, possible?

2011-08-29 Thread Aaron Krohn
We have an Ascend Max router that has a PRI plugged into it, providing 
our current dialup users with web access. The PRI is no longer cost 
effective, so I've been tasked with converting it to something cheaper.


We added a DID to our (existing) asterisk system (we have a couple dozen 
voip customers). We added an Adtran 908 to convert the VoIP signal into 
a virtual PRI for our MAX router to handle dialup calls.


When dialing into the number with a modem, MAX sees the call, picks up 
and apparently tries to negotiate it, but eventually disconnects. It 
HAS, however, twice, successfully connected the call for a short time, 
but no browsing was possible. I've done some debugging output on the 
Adtran which seems to indicate that an RTP BYE command is received: 
TM.T01 01 SipTM_Connected  rcvd SIP call-leg request: BYE ... This 
is the first difference between a debug output where the call connected 
and one that does not work. This is the one that doesn't work.


TL;DR - Is it possible to do dial-up through Asterisk? Or is it like t38 
faxing that is 'possible' to get working, but not if you have other job 
responsibilities?


Thanks!

Re: [asterisk-users] Dragging the dialup customers along, possible?

2011-08-29 Thread Eric Wieling
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.

Better a laggy modem connection than no data at all.
