OT: monitoring a phoneline with a voicemodem

[Alex Snow]

Hi All,

I have a couple of old hardware voicemodems that I'd like to try to use 
as something of a phone patch to record off a line without actually 
picking it up.  Does anyone know if this is possible? if so, how would 
one go about doing this in linux? googling around seems to turn up a 
couple of windows (and nonfree) programs to do that. 

Any help would be apriciated...
