Juxtaposition of Technology
There's a sense of irony in much of the technology used for VoIP. Say for instance you're a Vonage customer. They usually provide you with a Cisco ATA/186 or ATA/188 device to convert IP telephony into the traditional POTS analog voltages. How do these devices work? It's a modem in reverse! Asterix can do the same thing with sound cards and old school modems.
Where once upon a time, modems were used to pass data networks on voice lines, now they are essentially used in reverse to carry voice over data networks.
