> For VoIP, Amplitude distortion and quantization error (from multiple sources) means you will never get 56k over any voip system

https://frank.petril.li/posts/dialup-adventures-1/

I've done V.90 over VoIP. In a very controlled environment that was tuned for it, but VoIP nonetheless. The main issue is that VoIP timing, even with deep buffers, is prone to more jitter than a PDH network and the phase drift will eventually cause enough errors to force a retrain every few minutes. Either way, "never" is a little too absolute IMHO. :)



Fair enough. How about V.92? Have you had a setup where upstream PCM could be successfully established?


Good question - it's been almost two years since this project so I don't recall whether V.92 came up at all, even on a pure T-1 setup. I still have all the gear, if I set it up and run it again I'll update this thread.


What gear were you using?



Any chance you would be bringing that modem bank to ToorCamp on Orcas Island? The ShadyTel network could always use a better, faster dialup ISP!
