Hello,
So I have a Motorola SM56 USB Data Fax Modem (aka Apple USB Modem for some people) and according to information online this modem supports V.92, Caller ID, wake-on-ring and most importantly telephone answering (V.253).
At a place I happen to have an old telephone analog line that gets calls and unfortunately I can’t get rid of. Any ideias / links / software on how can I use the modem + a low end box / ARM SBC to “digitize” the phone line into a generic SIP / VOIP that I can then connect to using MicroSIP on another computer?
Thank you.
Does a SIP ATA work for you? You could probably get an old phone card and use that to convert the call to SIP but honestly I’d spend the 80 bucks on a separate box that’ll do all that for you. Some of the options even have a WiFi antenna.
I found this one but it seems to do the opposite of what I need.
Look at the HT318
Thanks for the tip, that model clearly says it supports it… then there’s https://www.grandstream.com/products/gateways-and-atas/analog-telephone-adaptors/product/ht813 that should work but the wording on the website isn’t that clear.
Even if overkill I guess I’ll go with the HT318. Thanks.
I wouldn’t call it overkill honestly, it’s just the right tool for the job :) I have some of their gear and I’m happy enough with it.
Well I don’t need 8 ports :P
Yeah something like the Grandstream HT813 seems like what OP wants. It’s like 65 USD, and has both and FXO and an FXS. It’ll be a whole lot less trouble, and more reliable, than a patchy solution.
