RE: Answering Phone Calls Using PC

You would need a VOIP provider to be able to do it easily.



Tesco do a free voip service for incoming, but that doesn't get the calls
ringing on both the computer and the telephones.



For that you either need to move over to voip entirely, or get a FXO
interface and a machine running asterisk to send the calls to multiple
places.



IMO, just let it ring, call back when you can be bothered ;)

Subject: [ukha_d] Answering Phone Calls Using PC



Hi all,

Despite having two cordless phones in the house it amazes me that
nobody can be bothered to answer incoming calls on some occasions
leading me to think whether it's possible to use my laptop (which is
always on my lap) to answer incoming calls.

Does anyone know of a method of tying in my ADSL router and some
clever software to do this?

TIA
Darren
