You can do that, but with only 56K (actually, 56K down, 33.6 up) you'll
have to use compression. The tightest compression is G.729A at 8 Kb/s, plus overhead. You may be able to get by with less compression and still fit within that modem's bandwidth.
I do not understand why I should use compression. The regular phone conversation is not compressed either. Once more, I don't talk about VOIP. The issue is how I can transfer voice from the computer to the phone line with the help of the modem.
As I mentioned earlier, most modems won't do that. Those that will are "soft modems" or "Win modems" and require the appropriate software. A standard, hardware modem, which you said you had, connected via a serial ports simply is not capable of what you want. This leaves the alternative of voice over IP, which will require compression to fit within the bandwidth of that modem. There is no magic that we can tell you to perform that can make a modem do something that it wasn't designed for. Perhaps if you were to mention the make & model of your modem, we could provide further info. BTW, "regular" phone conversation is often compressed, if you go through a discount long distance carrier. It also is when you use a digital cell phone. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
