No.  That's not how a modem works.  It doesn't have the ability to pass 
the raw audio data through to you, nor to accept digital PCM data and 
ship it out the speaker.

What you need to do is hook your handset up to your sound card.  THAT'S 
the hardware that understands how to capture analog audio data.  And as 
long as you're doing that, use a real headset/microphone; the mike and 
speaker in your POTS handset suck.
