A quick-and-dirty hack to go from an audio jack to phone line: Get an old phone with a _carbon_ mic (the pop-out kind). Remove the mic. Connect the audio to the mic contacts, and adjust the output level. These phones don't seem too particular about impedence. Messy, inelegant, may cause warts, etc. but it has worked for me. (Somebody will probably have something to say about this :) To go from the phone line to audio, consider a call-recording device.
