I would love to add dial-up support to my BBS but I can't connect
physical hardware (e.g. modem) to a VPS.
Does anyone know of a way to 'emulate' a modem which listens on a
VoIP SIP/IAX line?
Yes.
Yes.;-)
Could you please write more details?
No. There's no place for POTS links in 21st century, even if they are still possible (sure for V.42*, most likely for V.32*, don't know for V.34).

How can this be done?
Does anyone know of a way to 'emulate' a modem which listens on a VoIP SIP/IAX line? Once the call is received I can probably work the rest out.

Have a look at IAXmodem, maybe this helps: http://iaxmodem.sourceforge.net
It connects via IAX to an Asterisk server and provides a modem interface. But I haven't tried it myself.

If I am googling I am finding similar people asking for the same.
And similar answers like yours: "you do not need it".

I know what CP/M is; why you "need" to run it is a non-technical
question.

Was there a question on how to run CPM? :) You could get an Atari 8 bit and Fujinet, open up an 80 column term program, and type "ATCPM" :D

Benny is a silly nut with his CPM obsession, its a longrunning
in-joke.
I countered with running an abacus... no response... yet.
The original question was if technically it can be done, if so then
how; not to debate the reason why. "You do not need it" is a douchebag response.

What I understood, V.42b is achievable (technically).
V.34 and so are patended still (no open source),
but maybe technically also OK.
Nowadays there are these "kickstarters" and similar. People are
sharing cost of sometimes nonsences -> why not to use that way?
If there will be 1000 people like me (wants to spend let say 100
EUR per "licence") - it may motive some other poeple to write it.

Hey Nick!

Blasphemy!

Every gift looks backwards.
indeed, to me any sort of emulation has both merit and novelty. faxes are still (surprisingly) useful.. as is dialup on occasion.

i'd say this is debatable lol
Hey, you could run BSD instead, so it is not inaccurate.

100 EUR is the money I'd rather pay for 2 years of 500 Mbit/s internet connection, instead of some ephemeral "license" for a modem
emulator...
What if I need to exchange sometimes something with people who are
still pure PSTN connected?

Faxing is still a thing in Canada. I have several clients big and small that still shoot stuff via. fax. It "just works" for them.
Heard faxing is still huge in Japan...
b) Ask a node with POTS and IP to establish a direct route between
those people and you and use that node as a gateway.
c) Get old hardware and a real modem. Even if you need an POTS/VOIP
ATA converter it will be cheaper than the 100.000 for kickstarter
project or your 100 share for the kickstarter. You will get the fun
for finding the right Init-AT command for free.
d) Get old hardware, a real modem and your own POTS provider. No fun because Init ATZ.
e) Send encrypted mircoSD cards via snailmail.
f) Send a carrier pigeon.
Good ${greeting_time}, Nick!

No chance to get analog here.

I laugh at this whenever I hear that faxes are more secure. Too many times I've seen faxes, labeled SECURE, sitting on the fax machine
waiting to be picked up by someone. If companies would just open up a secure portal on their website to accept SECURE messages, this would
get rid of the whole fax dilema.
Technology -- two steps forward, three steps back.
The converter will take analog wires and transfer to VoIP. FXS or FXO, sorry, i'm not used to the professional wordings and mix them up, but
you will find the glossary at the asterisk environment.

There were some advantages of fax communication (where I understood
why German companies still insist to keep fax communication). It is
really peer2peer and sender immediately knows if fax was received.
Do you remember time when emails were alredy born but automotive
companies insisted on odette standards?

Faxes are sometimes used so that government and the broader internet can't see whats being transferred. Businesses that are under the table use them to send their reports all the time. :P
refused to move off of their existing EDI system... why? The airlines relied upon it for AOG (Aircraft On Ground) based shipment and communications. Airlines!?!?
