Asterisk can work with VoIP, analog and digital lines. You can use a cheap
modem to connect to an analog line. They are available often at eBay for $5.

Note not any ol' modem will work. You can find out which chipset works on the
asterisk wiki, http://voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk.

I don't recall which works. You could also google for it.

Asterisk will do just about anything you can imagine. The only problem is that
unless you spend some serious time learning about it you are going to have an
uphill battle.

There are solutions which works for SOHO, like Trixbox. It's a complete
prebuilt Asterisk system on a CD. Don't use V1.4x yet. It's very much beta.
