I recently bought a modem and added a dialup phone line for my BBS. If anyone with a modem wants to dial in, this is the phone number (local to northwest Oregon, USA):

Oh thats sweet! Ok, I haven't thought about dialup lines in years. Is it an internet phone, or do phone companies on traditional land lines still exist? I know we still have the jacks in our house that at one point was

It's an internet-based phone line (VOIP). With the service I'm using, I bought a Cisco network phone line adatper, which plugs into my network
via ethernet and has a phone jack on it. The place where I'm living
What service are you using? I have a USR 56k external hooked up to a Linksys PAP2T that's using VOIP.MS. I have about 5 or 6 modems, and I've found that the faster ones with better error correction (v.92 in my case) do much better than the slower ones. I have my node 1 set up on the modem, but I haven't really gotten around to testing it yet, mostly because I have too many other things going on.

Sorry but it's a bit of a toll call for me to test...

Cool! What BBS software do you run?

I need to call it sometime. I assume you're using VOIP of some sort?

That does seem so odd, these days.
Especially since my BBS is on hardware in the US while I'm in Germany, I call my mom using Google Voice (for free) to her phone line, over the internet, and then all the other internet things where I'm constantly traversing countries.
And yet, somehow, phone calling long distances still cost more, despite it doing less than the internet, and being able to do _video_ calls for free.

I run Synchronet.

Thats cool. I wonder if Mystic has a modem option
Yeah, it is a bit odd. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that it's a phone line using a phone number - Maybe someone along the
line charges a fee for infrastructure for a phone number to work the way it does.

Yes crazy huh, but then again most folks may well bypass the old toll
call issues now with voip via their favorite application, so yeah, I'm left wondering how much business there is in toll calling these days. I guess not much... hence telcos move to all things broadband and
digital.

It doesn't, but you can use Synchronet's SEXPOTS application to answer
the modem and then it'll telnet you into Mystic. That's how I have it setup here.

And this will work with Mystic too?

All I have to do us run:
sexpots -com /dev/ttyUSB0 -port 2323 &
and it'll do the rest.

So voip.ms works well with modems? Some VOIP providers do not work so well, especially at higher speeds (2400 or 9600+). Also if you have a

I've connected at 14.4 & 28.8 and it worked quite well, a little line noise here & there at 28.8.

The Cisco box is the ATA that provides the phone jack the modem plugs
into so it can talk to voip.ms.
Sort of like the MagicJack contraption does. So do they provide that Cicso hardware, or is that something you chose because it works better?

Some voip providers offer support for "Fax" service, in the case of
voip.ms you have to request it... usually this means you should be
able to get 9600-14.4 give or take without much issue. You should do
some testing and configure your modem not to negotiate at higher than
14.4 or 19.2k connections.
The cisco box connects to a VOIP line over ethernet/internet and will provide line service for a POTS device (such as a standard modem).

which codec do you recommend for modem communications?
