Re: [asterisk-users] Newbie, Question on making a PSTN call..
I understand the desire to try, but you are trying too hard. Getting a soft modem to work with Asterisk is. like trying to push a string up a 10 foot pipe. At the least, buy an inexpensive FXO device from someone like Grandstream and use it via Ethernet to work with Asterisk. If you have greater ambitions, buy any appropriate piece of hardware and start with that. Otherwise, You are going to have a lot of string in that pipe, before you see any come out the top. You won't get help on this because no one really knows how to do it or if it will work at all. I am trying to help, by getting you to try a better way. Good luck.

OpenVox are really cheap these days. Well under £100 for a card with an FXO interface now.
