Dial-up modems and Cox home phone
Correct to assume that a dial-up modem (analog) would not work with Cox home phone service (digital)? Story too long to explain why I'm asking

It's worth a try. I know fax machines work with Cox home phone(VOIP) and I can't imagine a dial up modem would be much different. Just set it to a low speed like 28 or 33Kb and turn off error correction.
No need to set speed or error checking because the dial-up wouldn't have anything to negotiate speed or error check with.
I assumed OP had a dial up connection they were going to call into. Wouldn't that have equipment that could negotiate such things? My experience with dial up is only my AOL days when I was a kid.
I wouldn't have assumed a "connection" but since OP is questioning voice service, I'd assume equipment with a "voice" function, such as a fax, switch or call-blocker.
OP specially mentioned "Dial-up". I assumed it was some kind of data modem on a security system. I guess we will never know unless OP tells us the story.
