I don't think a general solution is possible. I am not aware of any standard USB modem that supports voice communication via the host computer. They don't have a mechanism (channel/codec) to get the voice data to the host computer and most don't have voice enabled firmware. Some modules (I know of Option modules) have pcm interfaces for the voice data and a suitably configured host (hardware and software) can make voice calls. If you have an old PCcard modem with a headphone socket (such as some older Option GPRS/3G cards and a few Huawei cards) then it is possible to make voice calls using basic AT commands. The difference between dialing a circuit switched modem data link and dialling a voice call is just a semi-colon at the end of the telephone number.
