Hmmm... I've not tried it but cannot see any reason, in theory, why it 
would not work.   The 56K modem should use voiceband-ish frequency range 
and the ADSL is very much out-of-band from a voice perspective.   Might pay 
to check on your filter though.   You may be able to try the modem on 
another known-modem-friendly 'phone line?

HTH,
