[Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch as VoIP-2-PSTN gateway

[Tony Graziano]

Typically you would use a specific type of modem (dependent upon your
connection) that has the proper chipset and driver to both connect and
control the device.

In this case, a modem is not a modem. It is a modem because it takes an
analog line in and codes/decodes it, but in sip, so it is really an analog
gateway.

The more typical type of way of describing this is an in internal analog
gateway, using the ZAPTEL and other drivers. They com in different densities
and configurations. Alternately (instead of using a compatible card) you can
use an external SIP gateway. And lastly, you can connect to a provider with
a siptrunk (assuming your firewall is compatible and both firewall and nat
profiles are configured properly) and send receiev calls without the use of
a analog line.
