      so sad, i had only a learning intention, that is all
      any way thank you very much

      You might be fine legally, maybe they just can't sell them. But the modem in the laptop will not talk to FreePBX. They just don't work that way, I'm afraid.

        I would say the modem in the laptop, almost certainly will not talk to FreePBX, simply because I have never tried to use a modem in that way. It is always possible, but extremely unlikely.

          because i look for that PSTN gateway linksys SPA 3102 here in qatar and didn't find it, people told me that is illegal to sell such voip devices !

          It may be illegal to sell them, but that does not make it illegal to purchase. Obviously, it may also be illegal to purchase.

          Google got me to dutycalculator.com which said:

          That page linked me to here, which I cannot read.

              The biggest issue is that since around 2003 or so, those devices are no longer actually modems (almost always) and are just RJ11 adapters and expect the full modem functionality to be handled in a driver, and those drivers are Windows only, hence the term WinModem. After a certain point nearly all of those devices were handled in software only leaving Linux (and FreePBX) without good access to them.

              In theory a full FXO card could be done this way in software though.

                  ooh you are welcome, i'm from Safi, it is far away from Fes (about 500 KM )
                  Fes is the cultural city of morocco

                          I'm generally not a tourist. Avoiding tourists areas is normally my goal.

                                Ha ha. I'm sure. It is a huge city and the center of the country, I would expect everything to be available there. I hear that the weather is awesome too.
