I may be out of line, but it was my understanding that modems work by modulating the normal voice or audio frequencies available. (Hence the name modem) ADSL modems are likely misnamed since no need to modulate any carrier like audio. As I say, may be wrong, but I see no logical reason to disbelieve "it would work"? I assume at the normal modem speed limitations of 53 Kbps for uncompressed data. I am assuming the are giving you normal or above phone/audio frequency response. Standard disclaimer: It is my opinion, not a guarantee!
Mel O.T. Many years ago I saw Telus charge a customer $50/mo instead of $20/mo. for putting a modem on their phone line. But two years later they were not allowed to get away with that gouge.
