Well, OK, "it won't work" was a little strong. Faxes work because they 
too are at slow speed. But for me at  least, 9600 baud is pretty much 
useless. Instead, I just patch the modem directly into the wall plate 
(bypassing the asterisk box) on the rare occasions that I need to dial 
up so that I can get the 56k. Works in my small home setup, won't work 
for everyone. I suspect that neither patching around asterisk nor 
settling for 9600 is going to be acceptable for the motel manager.
