Well, you aren't wrong.  A dedicated DSP chip is gonna beat the audio
circuitry in the Amy all hollow, no two ways about it.  As far as the
original question, though, a 300 baud 103-compatible audio output (you
figure out how to get it to your phone - little speakers?  Old outmoded
acoustic couplers?) would be trivial.  A 212-compatible 1200 baud goody
_should_ be easy, but I can't say for sure.  Anything more than that gets
pretty problematic.

Note: this is transmit-only.  You'd need some sort of digitizer and some
pretty slick software to do receiving.  300 baud wouldn't be hard, given
a digitizer.  1200 baud would be tougher.
