What do you mean? Anything that is zaptel compatible will work with OpenZAP/FreeTDM. Even the cheap OpenVox single port FXO's. Sorry: I mean that Zaptel doesn't work on softmodems, just Digium and Digium-compatible telephony cards. I don't see why softmodems couldn't handle the load of a single landline. For instance, "U.S. Robotics USR5670 56Kbps PCI Bus (Plug & Play) Fax modem" sells for $17: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825104001 www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16825104001 Or maybe the hardware out there is just too diverse that writing a driver for this is a PITA? -- View this message in context: http://freeswitch-users.2379917.n2.nabble.com/Out-of-curiosity-Why-not-use-a...
