Uh, no.  All modems I have here *disable the "phone" jack* when the modem
goes off-hook (to avoid hearing the modem beeps in the phone, and having
the "telephone noise" on the phone line).

Basically, the "line" jack is switched by relais between the modems I/O
lines, and the "phone" jack.

(Tested with the USR Courier, ZyXEL 1496, ZyXEL 2864 and some others).

It might be different for your modem, but that would mean this discussion
is just a big misunderstanding :-)

Please continue trying - if you can get it to work, send us the commands
what has to be done, and we (we = Marc :) ) can try to integrate it into
vgetty.
