I'm totally out of the modem world as well, since I'm *forced* to use FIOS.
In the C-64 world at least one comm program will "dial" BBS's over
ethernet. This of course assumes you have ethernet on your C-64,
which I do.

I was thinking of buying one of those
MagicJack thingies that give you a local number and unlimited voip
calling for $20 a year and setting up a modem on it.
VoIP uses (more or less)
advanced codecs to encode and compress voice
audio. A modem, that expects a 1:1 "wire", will not work well on this.
