I just tried it with MicroPhone II and a Dove modem.  It seems to work fine.   
You won't be able to use our dialing routines, but you can manually dial the  
phone.  Using our scripting, you could probably make a nice front end that does  
everything you want.

However, I'm not sure all modems allow you to dial a * and a #.
