See my message from a couple of days ago where I had a perfectly working
33.6kbps modem connection:

Windows 2000 Server -> External Modem -> TDM FXS port -> asterisk ->
TE410p -> E1 PRI -> some dial-up ISP

The modem is only a 33.6kbps modem, but I might try and scrounge up a
56kbps modem and plug it in to see how well that works...

So, the real question would be, what is so different between your
machine and mine ??

Could it be that I used a server class motherboard (needed 3.3V PCI
slot)
Could it be that I used SATA drives?
Could it be that I don't run any services other than the bare minimum?
Could it be that the machine isn't really that busy? (only 25
extensions, with generally avg 1 or 2 calls at any time).
Could it be luck?

Or, maybe it is a combination of all of these things...

Short answer, it would seem that it is possible to get it to work...

PS, I suppose I should try to make a connection and see if I can keep
the connection 'up' for a few days as a single call. That would then
show that it really is quite reliable.... ie, I could have just been
lucky for that 2 minutes that I left the connection up for....

Feel free to ask me questions on my config/setup, or to run further
tests... 

Regards,
Adam
