Sorry if this isn't the correct forum, but I'm curious if anyone has -- and my terms may be all wrong here -- a virtual soft modem running with a VOIP provider?
Essentially I'm wondering if there is a way to setup my BBS to accept analog dial-up users without actually running analog hardware on the server -- completely virtualizing the modem and phone line.
Obviously a niche thing, but would be fun to dial a phone and know that the training tone I hear is from my system.

I'd say that once you have a stable VOIP modem and Provider, using sexpots
should be easy. http://wiki.synchro.net/util:sexpots

ya, that was the sound that made it a bit more exciting to call out to a bbs ..
of coarse, you could just play a modem.wav when callers connect :)
hope this helps a bit,

VOIP data is a tricky thing ... here is a decent starting point:

You can test with iaxmodem. I use it to send/rec. fax, you must need
iax2 instead of sip
