really?

i heard that you can't do it over skype at least but then again i guess other voip solutions have better sound quality

yeah. i have no idea how well it works but this guy was paying for our voip service and dialing into aol. i advised him to switch to our broadband since it would be cheaper and a shitton faster :v:

Not to sperg out, but you won't be able to get any decent modem connection to work over a VOIP provider to somebody else's modem. The lossy codecs in use will seriously gently caress up the negotiation. You could however setup a dialup system in your house with a line simulator if you really wanted that old-timey feel without having to buy a landline.

I had something similar going on for a while to get a dreamcast on the internet before the BBA was available. It dialed into my USR Courier and the poo poo was boss, son.

14k fax works ok on our voip so you can probably connect at at least that rate v:shobon:v
