Forget modems - to probe via some kind of analog connection, just get
a single instrument wireless telephone with answering capability.  For
a bonus, put some kind of identifier in the answering message:  No
power > no answer; power > answer.

I must be thick - how does that solve the problem? The OP wants to know
if a modem at a remote site will answer the phone. Maybe I misunderstood
the problem.
