I want to find out how much easier it is to use my computer as a telephone rather than using a regular telephone but what’s my aim?
Simple I want to be able to:
Record telephone conversations.
Have a answer machine.
That’s pretty much it, yer yer I know you can get this on a regular telephone for $10 from your local shop, but what I really is to be able to use a very small headset like the blue tooth ones you have for mobile phones, so go on complain to me about keeping my computer on all the time, unless I use the Wake on LAN function what’s this you might be asking well on modern motherboards in your BIOS you have something called Wake on LAN meaning if you have a modem you can plug it into your phone line if your computer is turned off and you receive a phone call it will boot up.
This is not a tried and tested method as I don’t get have a modem.
So tomorrow I will post the items I have ordered, and then I shall review the items and finally tell you (hopefully) how I’ve setup my computer phone.
If anyone reading has done anything like this I would love to hear comments on it and what products you’ve used for it.
Thanks.
