Are there particular types of Voice Modems compatible with Asterisk?

Could one use a voice modem and patch it into the soundcard to use the
analog modem over VoIP?

Thanks

Yes, the one that they sell as the old FXO card. Otherwise, no.

Seems like a tangle of hack to get away from pay $99 (or $25 if you
are cheap and don't want to pay Digium) to do it the right way and
just get a properly supported card.

Why not? That's the beauty of open-source, being able to hack your own
hardware together.
