Hi,

I might be mistaken, since the various options Cisco has are highly
confusing me, but this:

... looks like "you got something that was intended as a SIP<->PSTN
gateway" not "that was intended as a PSTN->Modem->PPP router".

I do not have a 5350 around, but our 5300 doing ISDN/Modem dialin says 
something like:

Slot 1:
Hardware is High Density Modems
Manufacture Cookie Info:
...
 FRU NUMBER : AS53-60-CC2=

Cisco search turns up complicated results, as there seem to be "NextPort"
digital modem based cards that can do "dialup" or "dialup, voice, fax"
(which should both do what you want), and then there are "Voice Feature 
Cards", which come with PVDM2 sub-modules...  doing only voice and fax.

(and interestingly enough, they cannot be mixed - "if there is a voice
feature card in the system, the universal dial card won't work")
