That won't work for me:

(1) EPOS terminals may have modems built-in. It would require modifications
to the terminals to get at the RS232 signals.

(2) The other end (i.e. the bank or whatever) would also need to install
serial-to-ethernet convertors, in addition to their existing modem bank.
Then I would need to install a secure IP link into the bank or whatever,
whereas at the moment all these calls just come in over the PSTN.
