You need a phone connection through which you can plug in a
telephone and make a call. You cannot dial a call through a DSL
modem. It just happens to share the same wires as your voice
telephone. If you have a landline voice telephone, you have to plug
your fax modem, not a DSL modem, in a wall jack which works with
voice calls. Your computer should still have an analog modem
inside.
