Sorry if this isn't the correct forum, but I'm curious if anyone has -- and my terms may be all wrong here -- a virtual soft modem running with a VOIP provider?
VOIP data is a tricky thing ... here is a decent starting point:

Essentially I'm wondering if there is a way to setup my BBS to accept analog dial-up users without actually running analog hardware on the server -- completely virtualization the modem and phone line.
I'd say that once you have a stable VOIP modem and Provider, using sexpots should be easy.

Obviously a niche thing, but would be fun to dial a phone and know that the training tone I hear is from my system.

ya, that was the sound that made it a bit more exciting to call out to a bbs .. of coarse, you could just play a modem.wav when callers connect :)
hope this helps a bit,
