Thank you Horacio and Cary.<br><br>We will try receiving SS7, routing via SIP, answering on the AS5300, then looping back to itself (out PRI, in PRI ports) in order to invoke the modem termination. This way we may be able to spare the TDM cards in Asterisk and reuse the E1 ports installed in the gateway.<br>

Hola!<br>
<br>
ZapRAS seems to work only with ISDN calls. "This command is not for use with<br>
analog lines; it does not provide a modem emulator."<br>

<br>
You need something doing the modulation. It seems that iaxmodem is your best<br>
bet, and you'll have to make a good bunch of work on it to be able to use as you<br>
want to.<br>
<br>
If your client has the cisco gateways, I'd suggest you to keep them. They are<br>
very reliable and tested, and with MICA cards they have not a high resale value,<br>
so you'll probably end with them as paperweights unless you happen to have some<br>
stack of C549 cards to repurpose them.<br>
<br>
Saludos,<br>
