I hate POTS phones. Period. Currently I use Skype to make outbound calls, but I can't afford SkypeIn (well, sorta). The fact is, I'm living with my family and they've got the Plain Old Telephone System
Sure, phones are cheap, but they all suck. I've tried googling this, and i KNOW there must be bajillions upon gazillions of solutions to this. What I want to do is take one of the dozen modems I have stockpiled up and stick it in my machine, and use some sort of program to MAKE and RECEIVE calls via POTS through the modem. I'm assuming that second 'phone' port on the modem was intended for that.
I feel really stupid, because someone has to know a very obvious answer. It's probably built right into windows somewhere. I just want to get rid of that god damn ugly phone sitting there and just run a cable into my computer. I love you guys! Thanks in advance!!
