'Phone Tapping' Modem Traffic ?

Hi,

I believe my 'voice line' is being tapped [the line feeds through the
'opponents' switchboard].

How difficult is it for them to 'decode' my modem [to ISP] traffic ?
I'm guessing/hoping that my modem has to 'synchronise' with the ISP's
in analog mode, so it's difficult for a '3rd' party to listen ?

Is this right ?

Thanks for any info.
