| looking for..
any thing out there that will let me plug in my phone, and use my pc as a telephone? my current internal modem doesn't have that feature, and will it work with the arris modem?
(also should point out this is a USB mic, that shouldn't make a difference)
a USB device that plugs in and lets me do these functions? (and will display caller ID on the screen)

 robl27 Premium join:2008-07-16 Mary Esther, FL | do they have that in a consumer version?
i'm just looking for software/modem that just allows me to use the phone on the computer. |
