Is there a way to dial in to a Asterisk box through Zaptel. I know that when I am hooked up to the internet I can use SSH but what about when I am using only POTS lines? Any ideas?

for this to work you’d need some kind of modem emulator, which I don’t think \* has. maybe spandsp somehow could do it _shrug_?
