Getting a audio feed from my dailup modem

My linux powered laptop still has a dail-up modem.

Is it possible to interface with the phone line through my modem.

Using bash or ruby, ( or something else, if I really have to) I would like to record and maybe even and make and receive calls.

C开发者_C百科an this be done? and if so where do I start?

If you have a "voice" modem, then there are dedicated audio like a speaker/mic. Otherwise, it's most likely a soft modem -- you would have to probably muck with the driver. Not for the faint of heart, and certainly not done using bash/ruby.

If I recall, most modems can't do this. You need a modem with telephony (or a special telephony card) in order to get access to the actual audio. The only interface most modems had was the serial interface, before and after the modulation and demodulation already happened.
