Possible Method to Connect Dreamcast Dial Up Modem to VOIP, PBX, Digital Phone Line, MagicJack, Etc???

Radio Shack Mobile Data Connector

This device might allow dial up connection over digital phone lines.
It claims to do just that.
I think it might have a voltage line simulator, signal amp, and multiple filters to choose from.
It might be worth a try?

yes, i think it will work out of the box.
some setups will need the appropriate filter to be selected.
i think the filter is simply a signal amplifier?
there are 4 filters to choose from.

I used to have a vonage adapter that I tried to get to work but even if I could get it to connect, the connection was so unstable that it would drop. Voip usually uses lossy compression which makes it hard enough to send a fax. I wonder if there is a way to use them as a custom line simulator though.
