Hi Torsten, 

did you get your analog setup going? 

I'm looking for some information to attempt to get my two USR 56k modems going. 

I just setup an astrisk server with freepbx front end. 
my extentions pjsip to cisco ata spa122 can call each other but they can't complete the handshake. 

I'm really knew to all this so I've been spending days trying to figure out how to get them to connect, but I've run into a wall. So I'm search the messages for anyone who might be able to send me somme knowledge nuggets. 

.... The seminar on time travel will be held two weeks ago
