On the Mac, they didn't connect the sound ports (in or out) to the 
modem port. Seems like an obvious thing to do but ... they never did 
it. So you can have the modem port be a modem port (or fax) but it 
doesn't deal with sound. The voice recognition folks at Apple have been 
pushing for that kind of internal connectivity for a long time and so 
far ... nada.
