Serial Modem with POTS

Hi,

have you tried reading the documentation about Asterisk,
because then you will read that only voice modems will work.

you will also learn that Skype is a closed source project and therefor can not talk with other systems.

what you need is a X100P or a DTM400 card, witch will connect to your POST line. alternative get an ISDN2 lines as that cards are much cheaper and they have more features.

Hi,

yes, and their is already a man in the middle solution as it is now possible to get a Skype to SIP program(windows), but you can only use it call Skype Out and receive calls, so it is still very limited.
and until their is a fullblown Skype module where you can create numbers for Skype Contacts, can receive call calls for multiple users(trunks) I do not consider it user complete.

and with the level of the question it is clearly a newbe we are talking to, so PSTN will give the best result/quality.

First I'd like to thank everyone for responding to my question(s). i have now obtained a SPA3000 as recommended by the gentleman who did the VM machine PBX I am experimenting with. So now I am trying to figure out "how to tell the PBX (via the web interface), what the address is of the SPA3000, or that it even exists. Any toughts/recommendations.

on another note, the comments about the Skype API, yes, it does work well, my business partner was able to use it in our Flight School Software to place outbound calls. very cool stuff is possible with this.

Thank you agin to all that responded to a newbie.
