Network Modem?
My mom's computer is connected to the router and to the phone. Is there any software I can use to let my computer use my mom's modem and call people from my computer?

Not clear on what you mean, sorry.

Do you want to connect to the internet and make internet telelphone calls?

No, I want to call people.

All of my computers are connected to a router > cable modem.

I want to use the modem from my mom's computer to call people on my computer using headset.

No. Use a standard telephone with a headset adapter or put a voice capable modem in your computer.

Well, we only have one phone cable, in the dining room. My mom's computer is out there and she has a voice modem. There is no way I could use it over the network?

Nope. What you need is a cordless phone that has a headset jack on the handset.
