They have (bigger) io problems with sound. People say everything from
"Works here(tm)", "OSS, fixed my problem", and of course some say "Alsa".
So i assume it's more of a User+Pc thing, mp3's and non acclerated
graphics just pretty much don't mix..

Complain to the Teleco and modem manufacturer (tell them both the other
said it was their problem, or they'll bounce you around). What would be
happening in that case is the modem is shorting the signal, or bleeding
power, which means the modems fryed or your teleco company sucks and they
can send somebody to retune the lines so the signal is as it should be.

The "Telephone Cord", from either the back of the pc or the wall which
ever is easiest to get at.

Lets clarify what kind of TAD (Telephone Answering Device) your trying to
get working. From your original post i thought it was the "electronic
answering" that most teleco's provide here. Is this what we're talking
about? Or are we talking run of the mill off the shelf answering machine?
Or useing a voice modem to setup the linuxbox as ananswering machine?

When a modem is set to answer data calls and pass voice calls onto a
phone, they do funny things to determine if it's data or voice. I don't
recommend it as a stable setting, if at all affordable get one line for
voice one for data/fax.
