[Freeswitch-users] Running FreeSWITCH on softmodem

[Steve Underwood]

As others have said, the problem with softmodems is nobody has been 
motivated to produce drivers, even though it wouldn't be that hard in 
most cases. I think it would be especially hard to get people motivated 
to produce drivers for your ICH4 modem, as that's a pretty old chipset. 
Intel have moved from AC97 to the high definition audio scheme since 
then. I think that means any drivers for a modern chipset won't work for 
yours, and the modern chipsets are seldom plumbed to a modem port. Its 
all a bit of a dead end, really.
