If it's the right type of modem, you could certainly accomplish this 
task with Asterisk.  A full description of how to setup Asterisk and 
accomplish the task at hand is well beyond the scope of a single email, 
but suffice to say that it's possible with a modicum of effort.  An even 
better long term solution might be replace your current answering 
service with a more flexible Asterisk-based solution, and those 
voicemails will be naturally saved in .wav or .mp3, your choice.  :)
