There is a DXCC FAQ now at the ARRL site and it says:

        Q: There are other modes not recognized by DXCC. How do they
        apply?

        A: Modes such as PSK-31, G-Tor, Pactor, JT44 etc are digital and
        count for DXCC as RTTY. SSTV and other voice modes count as Phone
        for DXCC.
