RE: Re: IP based phone system

If it is an Argent / Network Alchemy / Lucent system, then there was a TAPI
interface that you could set up to dial from your PC (need to know the IP
addr of your Argent box).

Seems like we have an Argent phone system (no longer supported - and a bit
crap) and even though the phones are plugged into to the ethernet network
we use a RJ15 to RJ45 convertor and it is not a proper VOIP system.

Looks like it is not possible .... is it?

Talking of phones ... looking for a new home phone with bluetooth headset
capability. Preferably able to be controlled from my PC with my contacts
etc.

Any suggestions and online shops to purchase from?
