   Hi Simon,   
      
   You would need a VoIP provider that offers G711a as a codec. Modems don't seem   
   to work with G729, or at least for me it didn't.   
   You will also need an analogue telephone adaptor or ATA that will convert VoIP   
   to analogue, so that the modem can talk over VoIP.   
   I personally recommend AudioCodes MP series like the MP114.   
   As a modem I use a courrier 56K V.Everything, serial and managed to get 33600   
   bps connections to some BBSes.   
      
   If you need more info, feel free to ping me.
