The problem with voice-over-IP-over-modem is not bandwidth, but latency.
The delays can be far worse than satellite links. Is there any way around
this, short of an ISDN link?  I guess a direct dialup (no internet) and
small packet size, no modem compression, would help.

Any sufficiently advanced bug is indistinguishable from a feature.
