old modem guy, but new to VOIP - seeking advice reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jimh12345 · 2022-06-16 21:16 I have a vintage modem and want to dial into some BBSs. And the modem is 2400bps so I'm not too worried about audio quality - if the connection isn't too chopped up time-wise it should work. I know about MagicJack, it's cheap, but still a 'subscription' and I don't like giving anyone my VISA number. How about Google Voice with an Obi200 or similar unit? Higher up-front cost but then I'm set for life. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bitter_Art_9293 · 2022-06-17 03:09 Wiimodem i believe um cbmstuff.com Doctor Strange Sysop Sanctum Sanctorum 1982 to 1986 and girls.

This will work. I've got Google Voice and an Obi device like you mention, there, and faxing works just fine. Modem, not so much. *However,* somebody informed me (on this sub?) awhile ago (months? years?) that it will work, at low speeds, if certain AT commands are entered. I don't think there's anyway I could find that comment without a significant investment of time, however. But it will work. That one guy told me (sorry!). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HotCharlie · 2022-06-17 03:54 I found it.

Works rather well.
