It's best to consult your VoIP provider for information regarding modem over VoIP network but here's one fella who is using Vonage who got his modem to work on VoIP network.

Complete FAQ on modem or fax through VoIP. Bottom line, chances are it probably won't work unless your VoIP provider is equiped to support them (and most aren't)

I have heard that VoIP lines do not work with modems because of the latency in the line even though most VoIP systems provide a POTS connection. The question that comes to mind is: why would you want to? Since you have VoIP you obviously have an Internet connection. Perhaps there is a way to connect to the service you are trying to reach over the Internet.

No-can-do. Your modem needs a POTS line to make an analog connection. VoIP phones are digital.
