Routing Voip call to mgetty

[spkdont]

I’m trying to connect a Dreamcast game console to my PC’s modem using its modem (just a null connection). But, there’re some DC’s modem models who doesn’t work if there isn’t a line tone. I wanna know if there’s someway to Asterisk to route a incoming ppp connection to a mgetty process on the same machine Asterisk is running. I’ll try to draw it:

Dreamcast – rj11 line --> ATA --> PC running Asterisk and mgetty

The ATA gives me the line tone and power I need, so If Asterisk someway routes the incoming ppp call to mgetty, I could then establish a connection (mgetty usually listen on a serial port waiting for a connection).

Ok, sounds crazy, but who knows? Can someone help me?

would the iaxmodem project work?

IAXmodem was originally conceived to function as a fax modem usable with HylaFAX, and it does that well. However IAXmodem also has been known to function with mgetty+sendfax and efax.

The IAX docs says it works with mgetty, then maybe yes! I’ll try it, thank you!

Not that I am questioning, or think this is a bad idea, just curious (killed the cat huh?). Why?

Why?

why not?

(maybe he is running linux on his dreamcast… too bad the DC ethernet adapters were never made in any real quantity…)
