Well, pretty much what a modem does is convert it to digital,(bits) to 
analog, like phone sound.  This would be possible, it's been done, it's 
called a modem.  Basically if you tried to do that, you would just be 
making a very simple modem...it wouldn't be the size of a graphlink for 
example, it would need to be a whole board, so it would be very hard...
