[lug] Sound-enabled modem via Linux?

I'd start by looking at something like a USR data/voice modem.  They have
the capability to act as voicemail systems under Windows, so the ability to
tap into the audio portion has to be there.  I can't speak to whether or not
it is supported under Linux/how to tap into it.

Hi, 

A friend of mine is asking for advice on a software project. He needs to
write a system (running under Linux), which can answer a phone line, or make
a phone call. After that, it needs to be able to digitize what it hears, as
well as synthesize some sounds. This is to communicate with some legacy
devices on the other end that speak DTMF (as well as some other tones,
non-DTMF). 

Does anyone know of such a device (card) which can be harnessed from Linux?
Ideally, it's a combination sound card/modem of some sort. Any tips would be
appreciated, I'll pass them along. 

Thanks, 

Bryan
