You have to have a voice capable modem. The first voice capable modem  
Apple used was the Motorola SM56 which started to appear in late 2004  
or early 2005. You can check the type of modem you have with System  
Profiler. If it doesn't say "Motorola SM56", then you are out of  
luck. Then again, what's the issue with spending 49 USD for the  
dongle modem? It's a very small device, it won't be in the way. Note,  
the dongle modem is also a Motorola SM56.
