OK, so the router controls the phone line. Its connected to a modem. There is no other 'parallel' connection on the incoming phone line. How do you place a voice call through a modem?
If you put the router in parallel with a telephone line, so voice calls over the same twisted pair are possible, then how do you prevent a person from getting an earful of modem-speak (if the router has enabled a ppp connection) when they pick up the phone? You need to be able to 'switch' the incoming line between voice and data calls. You cannot share them (in this case). Without switching, a voice call (picking up the phone) can completely mess up an active data call. The switch can be as simple as a toggle switch, or as complecated as a PBX, in fact a toggle switch can be thought of as a PBX, or manual switchboard.
I digress, there is a way to handle voice and data simultaneously. It's called VoIP (a much maligned acronym), but this is an expensive solution as well.
(caffine-iv, I'm not arguing with you, I'm just trying to figure out what your idea is).
