VoIP is not recommended. But if you want to try it, you can try a VoIP ATA device using the G.711 u-law codec. You will also likely need to cap your modem's bitrate to 9600bps or lower, but you will have to figure out how to do these things on your own. A good starting point is https://area-51.blog/2021/01/16/getting-a-dial-up-modem-working-with-voip/
Please note that VoIP service is unreliable at best for dialup usage. As such, we cannot provide any technical support for VoIP users, and any such trouble tickets will be closed.
