Hi Robert,

I researched for something similar about a year ago, and came up with
nothing really worth the work. If you can, try to get another ATA that
has a real, old-fashioned serial modem plugged into it, and limit that
modem to 9600. I think more than that will not work reliably, but you
could of course try.

The only working implementation of software emulating a modem in
conjunction with asterisk I have seen is fax-related, and even there I
read from several people that anything better than 9600 is hardly ever
achieved. The code there is cranked into fax-use though, not modem use,
which would require the PPP bytestream to be off-handed instead of fax
parsing. Perhaps iaxmodem would do that.... No idea.

I'd be interested in how you get that working, if you do indeed.
