John brought one thing to light that I forgot to mention earlier.
By connecting a modem to the router, you are opening a security hole into
your network. Make sure to set a timeout on the console port so that when a
user hangs up, the console session will timeout and another user can't come
in behind you and grab your console session. You may also want to have
somebody at a remote branch physically unplug the phone cable from your
router after you have completed any configuration changes. Better yet,
control access to your routers with Cisco Secure ACS. You can then set
privilege levels on a user by user basis as well as logging access to your
networking infrastructure.
Hope this helps...

It is possible.
There is actually no configuration on the router. You will need to set the
modem to talk at 9600, 8, N, 1 with no local echo. You also need to set the
modem to auto answer. Your modem should have documentation with the proper
"AT" commands that you will need to issue. Save this configuration to the
modems NVRAM and plug it into the router.

Subject: Modem to Console Port
Is is possible to connect a modem to the console port for remote
configuration on the Cisco 1600 series?
If so would you please provide me with a sample configuration?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
