Logan,

Two things:

1.) Check the make, model, chipset, etc of your modem and figure out  
if it is an X100P clone. If it is, you can use it to hook up your  
incoming POTS line to your asterisk server.
2.) If you want to use the phone port of your modem to connect an  
analog phone to Asterisk as an extension, then it will not work.
