        Some 20 years ago in a previous life I had a modem protective device
(a modem condom!) which fronted the modem on the phone line and when dialed
supplied a sythisized voice which asked you to "enter your code". You then
fed it a code via DTMF and it (if it liked your code) faked ring to the
attached modem and then passed the call through when the modem answered.
