Hello Asterisk-dev, <br>I am new to Asterisk. I got SIP Calls to work between two computers using a soft phone and asterisk in the middle. Since then, I have been trying to get my soft phone to make a PSTN call with terrible failure for about two days now.<br>
<br>On Windows using asteriskwin32:<br>I have a soft modem (Agere HDA Modem) in my laptop. Windows' default dialer is able to make a PSTN call by connecting the Phone's RJ line into my laptop's RJ 11. I am unsure what drivers to choose where and what parameters to change in tapi/fx configuration files etc. to get asterisk to use this modem to call out. <br>
Read plenty of articles about how asterisk cannot make a good phone call using a half duplex modem. But, This is for experimental purposes and I will be thrilled to just get my phone ringing before I go out to buy specific hardware. <br>
<br>On my Ubuntu:<br>Next up, I connected my phone(NOKIA N73) to my computer, ensured that I am able to connect to internet on my ubuntu. wvdial works good too. Again, I am unsure how to get asterisk to connect to this modem so that I can use my soft phones to make a call. <br>
<br> Need help. Thanks in Advance. <br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Shivku, <br><a href="http://blog.shivku.com">http://blog.shivku.com</a><br>
