[asterisk-users] USB Modem with asterisk

[Don Fanning]

No.  A USB modem will *not* work as a FXO card.  You're thinking of the 
X100P card which was a rebranded Intel modem.  These have been 
discontinued by Digium and only third party suppliers still sell them.  
But taking a normal modem and using it as a FXO will not work (most 
modems do not pass audio information to the system bus).

Additionally, having multiple modems won't help you either.  You'll need 
multiple cards with multiple FXO ports on them.  A better solution in 
this case would be to get a TDM card and run it into your T-1 CSU/DSU 
(or router).
