There is no reason why it shouldn't work with asterisk. The point of the
device is to convert a FXS port to a FXO port. Which means it probably
detects the ring on a FXO port, then loops the FXS port to signal the
line as picked up, then connects the 2 lines together. So all asterisk
needs to do is detect the loop and instead of providing dialtone, it
needs to act like it just answered a call coming in like a hotline
phone. See archives about the hotline phone last week.
