Hi, maybe this has been asked before but I couldnt find a proper answer on the web or list. I want to use a analog V.92 modem to make outgoing (and possibly) incoming phone call through a standard analog phone line. I found on web it's easy been done via chan_modem.so module. But this seems removed from asterisk or buggy. So my questions are can I enable chan_modem.so to be built or what other way to connect a modem to asterisk ?

I'd say, save yourself the time and the frustration, drop the idea and
buy a real voice card.

When I asked this question, I was basically told that it isn't possible.
The problem is along the lines that the modem uses many more wavelengths
and more bandwidth than a regular phone does, so this won't work through
the card. I have found that I can send outgoing faxes, and incoming
faxes redirected to this modem also work, but I have to patch the modem
through directly to the wall plate in order to be able to make dialup
connections.

Thanks for that. What channel module do I have to use then ?

And can you recommend a card? Are there external ones, as I can't
really power off the machine. Wink

Thanks,

Ronny

If you cant power off the machine, look for a sip ata or channel bank.

USB/ TDMoE Channel banks:

xorcom.com
spidermux.com/

And for ata's or sip gateways, there are zillions of brands,

Unless I misread the OP and the followups, Greg, Ronny isn't trying to
use a modem as an FXS device to talk through his Asterisk box, he wants
to use it as a one-channel FXO interface to let the Asterisk box talk
to the PSTN.
