Unless I'm mistaken, this is not true. Some modems will work, but  
they are extremely rare. Your average USR/Rockwell/etc. modem will  
not work. Search on voip-info.org for X100P clone and read up on  
which will work. A regular phone line will work just fine, though,  
assuming that you get a way to interface it with your system:

Digium X100P
Digium TDM400P w/FXO Port
Digium TDM2400P w/FXO Port
ATA with FXO Port (Like Sipura SPA-3000)
