[Asterisk-Users] Modem as PSTN interface?

[Rudolf Ladyzhenskii]

Hi, all

Can a normal PCI modem be used to provide PSTN interface? I have seen modems that have answering machine capabilities, so there should not be a problem sending voice through them.

Certainly, modem will be cheaper option then dedicated cards. Am I missing something?
