[Asterisk-Users] Can Asterisk do the following for me ?

[Juergen K. Zick]

Hello,

that is even possible without "MODEM" hardware. It should work with a 
simple call forwarder/diverter. It connects to both line ends and works 
more or less like a analogue 2-port pbx with a fixed programmable 
forwarding number. Offered e.g. in Germany from AUERSWALD (A-BOX) 
http://www.auerswald.de/int/products/auerswald_box/box_intro.htm or at EBAY 
...like here http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6386901484

No modems or VoIP equipment except the ATA is needed at all for this ...

regards,

Jürgen
