This would probably require AMI actions/events to be added to app_softmodem
as well as other integration, but conceivably, we could create a separate console application that runs as a Linux binary, which functions much like a serial console for a modem.
Example session (courtesy S.Y.):
where 1.2.3.4 is the IP of a remote Asterisk system and 12345 is the port for softmodem
telnet 1.2.3.4 12345
then, when it connected
atdt5551212
This way, one could have access to modems to a terminal, without having them locally. Effectively, it would be "modem as a service over IP".
Note that unlike in the example above, since this application would not need to be running on the same system as Asterisk, 1.2.3.4 would be the IP of the server running the AMI application.
