Now that containers have landed, we're one step closer to the one big goal that I've desperately wanted to deliver to my customers for years, which is integrating VoIP into the customer router rather than shipping additional devices which are confusing and error-prone for people.
Since Mikrotik seem to refuse to ever include an FXS port on any of their devices, I'm hoping a USB connected FXS port can close the gap here and allow people to connect a phone to their router.
Alternatively, a DECT antenna dongle might also do the trick.
Has anybody experimented with this yet? Is it a goal that anybody has thought about? Are there USB parts available to close the gap? (I have only found USB FXO device, not FXS)
Maybe Mikrotik could create an USB->FXS device on their product line and then leave the software to the community, since 'tik do not seem to have any interest in adding asterisk to their software.
If the software matures, then it could be investigated for integration into the base OS in the future...
