what about checking you pc's manual? anyway, you can use setup/config programs in some modem-apps pkgs, like mgetty as already suggested (good for inbound and outbound data/fax/voice calls) or hylafax-server (whose modem knowledge-base is fairly large). But you can go straight with minicom talking directly to the modem, eg OK ati3 EFM560 VER 4.02 V.90 (VER 1.14 TBR21 V.2) OK at+fclass=? 0,1,2,8 which shows that mine is a EMF560... brand/serial/etc (ati3 command) and a data (0) fax (class 1,2) and voice (8) modem (at+fclass=? cmd). > > A quick and dirty way to do this might be to use a bridging plug (two RJ yep, should always work on POTS, provided you use the right line-adapter. A quickest & dirtiest approach is, put a normal phone in parallel on the line, stick mic - connected to your pc - on it, and there you go; use your favourite audio app to record the mic signal. Can be done even with a w.less handset, like a dect - handy when your phonr plug is away from your bunker ;) For a more stable/reusable setup, go to a telephone shop and ask for an audio phone-line adapter, one of those suitable for eg plain old analog recorders or phone-secretary.
