The problem I always ran into with my phone line is that I can't really test it. I don't have a second phone line to dial in with, and I don't know anyone who has a modem that I can pester.
My dial-up line is a VOIP line from my cable company/internet provider, so I don't have any special equipment other than the phone modem the cable company provided to me. It works well enough, and I'm able to get at least 33.6K out of it.

I figured out how to get sexpots to connect to my modem (in linux), NOW
I have to figure out how to use the VOIP I have. It's a grandstream
ht702 2-port VOIP adapter. I got it of E Bay, with NO instructions. I
did download the PDF file, but it's not much help with modem
conectivity. Think I'll ask along the echoes and FB to see if anybody
ever used one with a BBS. seems like a pretty cool device to use for BBS'ing... Regards,
Can someone point to, or help with setting up sexpots with linux/Syncrhonet? The wiki talks about setting it up with windows and windows NT and nothing abouit linux.

It works, you just have to compile it. I'm not sure there are any instructions, as the wiki suggests you use mgetty over SEXPOTS on Linux.
(I use SEXPOTS)

Nice speeds! I've heard most getting 9600 without errors, but anything hight CS>there's errors. I don't have VOIP with my provider, I'm gonna find a VOIP CS>provider to sign up for though. Not sure how to even do that

The VoIP adapter (ATA) should look like a phone line to the modem.

Like Linux sees the modem, but I have to figure out what service and
how to get it going. I know NOTHING about VOIP's...

You will need to subscribe to a provider and then configure the ATA to log in, using the details supplied by the provider. As for the modem, it simple connects to the ATA using a standard RJ-11 cable. The ATA looks just like a POTS line to the modem.

Someone (Wish I could remember who that was) was/is using their google voice number with their BBS, which is GREAT! Since that's totally free.
I have to figure out how to access the Web setup, without the use of a VOIP/POTS phone. Hopefully that's possible
