What do you mean?  Anything that is zaptel compatible will work with<br>
OpenZAP/FreeTDM.  Even the cheap OpenVox single port FXO&#39;s.<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>Sorry: I mean that Zaptel doesn&#39;t work on softmodems, just Digium and<br>
Digium-compatible telephony cards. I don&#39;t see why softmodems couldn&#39;t<br>
handle the load of a single landline.<br>

For instance, &quot;U.S. Robotics USR5670 56Kbps PCI Bus (Plug &amp; Play) Fax modem&quot;<br>

Or maybe the hardware out there is just too diverse that writing a driver<br>
for this is a PITA?<br>
