Intel 536EP modem for Voip in Linux

[John covici]

I don't think you could use that modem -- asterisk had/has some
drivers for modems, but they haven't been worked on for years.  What
you need is a digium card (I think 100p is the model) which they no
longer make, but you can get them on Ebay and try and see how they
work for you.
