If you want to connect to an analog phone line, then you will need to
use some 
sort of hardware to connect it (no, a PCI modem is not possible*) --
this can 
either be a PCI card, or simply an analog-to-SIP converter made by
various 
companies such as Linksys, etc...

Alternatively, you can use a SIP provider, and there are many, to get
calls into 
and out of your system. For the cost of a piece of hardware, you're
likely to 
get anywhere from a couple of months to several months of service. Some
of which 
allow you to use it like a pre-paid phone card, and is around a penny
per minute.

[* Yes, you can use a certain PCI modem which contains the appropriate
chipset 
(not any PCI modem), but the time and money to get such a modem is not
worth the 
time.]
