modulated by the data which i choose to send. I would think that all that is required is an circuit on the other end to recieve the modulated carrier wave and decode it.

So you need a Modulator-Demodulator, which is precisely what a Modem is & does - by definition!!

A Modem is simply a way of creating a data link over an analogue phone line - it has nothing specifically to do with the internet!

Modem manufacturers like Multitech, USR, 3-Com, et al have several decades of experience in this stuff - there really is no point in trying to roll your own from scratch!

If you don't want to use a a commercial, ready-made, "boxed" modem, there are plenty of sources of embedded modules; eg,

You can also buy modem chips - but then designing your own analogue line interface is non-trivial, and fraught with legal and/or regulatory pitfalls.
