Doesn't DOSBox do exactly this with it's modem emulator, you basically ATDT
<host>:<port> and it connects you over TCP/IP, presenting itself as a Hayes AT
modem attached to a COM port to the DOS programs?
It's how I run Waffle's UUCICO on UUHECNET.
Anyway, the idea of actual, real, live, callable POTS numbers is cool too. Ooooh, could we
somehow emulate ISDN over IP?
Could we? I have no idea. Will we? We must.

Is it just me or does the whole conversion of serial to modem to pots to voip back and
forth there seem a little excessive?
So I had an idea. What about a software modem that natively talks VoIP.
Then I had a better idea. I'm going to look into writing something similar to
Johnny's serial bridge program only making it a proper "modem" with enough
of the AT command set to be able to dial numbers and then make "phone numbers"
actually be IP+port somehow.
Am I nuts?

If someone in the states gets something going, let me know.. I'd like to do an initial
test to see if I can connect over my voip lines (may have to do a little tweaking). I
attempted to connect with Sampsa a few years ago, unsuccessfully; however, I'm almost
certain it had to do with switching VOIP across the atlantic, as I've been somewhat
successful connecting to C64 bbses in the US.
Worse case, I'll just buy a POTS line... but I prefer the free long-distance.

Count me in for UUHecnet as well. Happen to have any dial in-capable systems Fred? I
just got my modem working and you're in the same state and it might cut down on long
distance. ;)
Modems? I've got modems ... I came from the days before all this high speed
stuff.:) Let me see what I'd need to hook one up - however my Asterisk system is
essentially in the way so an FXS card will probaby need to be purchased (they aren't
that expensive, I have a card that will accept any four of FXS/FXO - only two are
populated at the moment)
