No, it is not feasible to run modem signals over VOIP, as the various codecs all compress signals and cut frequencies and all manner of things to reduce bandwidth consumption, which are incompatible with modem signaling. You could get away with it in a homelab for fun, but you have absolutely no control over what VOIP codecs e.g. Comcast is running, so it is effectively impossible. Even if the phone company says they can offer you a copper line, your copper line will eventually get converted to VOIP at the end of the street or wherever, and then it's up to whatever commercial provider you're paying to choose the codecs for VOIP, which are never modem-friendly. I worked on this stuff about ten years ago. There are fax codecs but they are very hard to get working reliably.
I have no horse in that race but just to see people talking about XML like this a quarter of a century after the first time I saw similar comments is just funny, I don't care who you are.
I think this is normal for most people, but I've found that one-on-one's are a way more effective tool for revealing these sorts of situations. A good manager, though, is very rare. Maybe there's some surface area here for AI, to identify landmines workers are stepping on. Who knows, maybe AI should just be the ones attending meetings.
I interviewed at DoorDash way back when, could've been about employee #12 or something. But when I sat down to interview with a couple of the cofounders, it seemed to me they were some kind of sociopaths. I have no regrets whatsoever not calling them back. All of my friends that work in the service industry (at the actual restaurants, not delivery drivers) absolutely despise DoorDash. I refuse to use it.
