Given that we can use 56K (bits, not bytes) modems...could this be

It could probably be done on vinyl...but are there any lifespan

In the 1920s Video signals were recorded on shellac discs using a modulated
tone similar to the way the cassette tape data recorders for early PCs worked.
I don't see why a modem signal that can pass through a voice telephone line
couldn't be recorded on any audio medium, though it might have to have better
speed regulation than most analog machines do.
