You don't have to have actual human agents for mod_fifo. You could define a user for each modem and then manually "log in" those "agents" on the command line using the fifo_member API command. Something like this:
fifo_member add fifo_name {fifo_member_wait=nowait}user/1234
Where 1234 is the user id of one of the modems. You would need a SIP registration from the PBX to FreeSWITCH for each of the modem extensions.
Having modems go through a VoIP system sounds a bit scary. What application are you building?

Hi William,
Thanks for the reply.
My setup is as follows:
Client(Caller)->dialup modem->PBX->FreeSWITCH->PBX-> 4 dialup modems->Server(Receiver)
I basically need FreeSWITCH to bridge the incoming call to the best external destination (out of the 4 available), so that the modem training, connection etc can take place smoothly, before exchange of data. I am not sure if mod_fifo would help me in this scenario, as, I would require an agent to dial in and read the fifo. Could you please clarify?
Thanks!
With regards,
Sirish

Sounds like you want to take a look into mod_fifo.
