Modems are designed to be hooked up to the phone line output from
a wall phonejack. They can then be used, similarly to a phone, to
dial a number either for access to the internet or to send a fax.
This is done using a 'dialer' program on the computer.

A second phone jack on the modem can be used to hook up a phone
to the same line that is being used by the computer, but the 
phone will be useless if a phone cord is not connected between
the wall jack and the modem.

Let me know where this takes you...

The purpose of the Question is to Use my Analog Phone to connect to
Modem Port and use the Analog Phone to communicate on VOIP softwares
like Skype, Google talk.
Following is the rough schematic diagram

ANALOG PHONE <-> MODEM PORT <-> PC <->SKYPE <-> INTERNET <-> SKYPE.

 I understand that only POTS lines are connected to Modem. WHat is
needed to achieve the above set up.

A program such as the SkypeŽ Forwarder seems to offer what you're
looking for:

"SkypeŽ to phone and phone to SkypeŽ. Never miss a SkypeŽ call
 again. SkypeŽ Forwarder acts as both a telephone and a SkypeŽ
 answering machine, as well as a SkypeŽ to phone and phone to
 SkypeŽ gateway."

A free demo is available from that page, so you can check it out
and see how it works for you.

Let me know if this answers your question...

There are two Products available Teleon.net & TwilighUtilities. They
support only data & voice modems. I'm looking for Support in
WinModems(Soft Modems).Which are commonly available in today's PCs.

If you want to connect an analog phone to the modem such that the
phone can make calls to the modem, or vice versa, you need a circuit
that connects the two items and supplies voltage for ringing and
talking, etc, like a telephone exchange does. These are commonly
called 'line simulator' or 'ringdown' circuits and can be bought
ready-made, such as

You could also use a small PBX / phone system.
