I don't know of any software (nor whether it's technically possible or not) that will convert a regular analog modem into an FXS port. What you'd most likely need to do is install Asterisk and then buy an IAXy from Digium. They go for about $100 and serve as a FXS to IAX gateway. With that you can connect a regular analog phone to an Asterisk server running on your machine. Then again, you can get a good SIP phone for about $70, so it might no be worth it unless you have a super-fancy analog phone you're wanting to use. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
