If you dial in with PPP you get PPP and internet, if you dial in with just a terminal you telnet to my BBS. I had this setup …

Cathode Ray Dude (CRD) on Youtube has good videos and blogs on this topic. The devices you listed are VOIP POTS gateways, NOT phone line simulators. Phone line simulators are old analog devices that have nothing to do with VOIP. I was using the wrong term. Yes basically they receive a call on one …
