I don't think you could use that modem -- asterisk had/has some drivers for modems, but they haven't been worked on for years. What you need is a digium card (I think 100p is the model) which they no longer make, but you can get them on Ebay and try and see how they work for you. on Monday 08/21/2006 Brent Harding(bharding@xxxxxxxxxx) wrote > Hi.
