egetty.pl works flawlessly on my MT5634-ZPX-PCI modem.  My initial guess
is that your ROCKWELL modem doesn't even support voice.  Have you
verified it?  If not, turn off faxgetty and/or vgetty(comment out/init
q) and open minicom on /dev/ttySL0.  Enter FCLASS=?.  If 8 is among the
modes listed, then the modem purports to support voice.

Either the modem doesn't support voice or not very well.  In the latter
case you'll be in for some debugging at least.  If you prefer something
that works out of the box, then I recommend replacing with a Multitech
modem.
