[Asterisk-Users] Newbee Question

[Daryl G. Jurbala]

Modems are FXO devices (designed to connect to a telephone line from the
phone company).  You need an FXS device, like a Digium card or an
Internet PhoneJack to attach your standard analog phone to.

Other than than, yes, Asterisk will do exactly what you are asking.  You
just need the right hardware and you're all set.
