Do you mean that you have dial-up Internet access and not broadband?  If so
then it isn't going to work as the only speech codec supported today is
G.711 which is 80k.  I intend to add G.726 as its already in the avcodec
library when I finish the stuff I'm doing now.

Or do you mean use a 56k modem to plug a phone into? If so; then the answer
is I have no idea; it depends on whether this looks like a standard
soundcard to linux or not.  Would be interested to find out though if anyone
knows.
