Bebop,
Some of us on the old Technote forum used a pc telephone for a while but it did not last long.
Elizabeth,
One problem we had with the old phone was dial-up connections and Firewalls.
I will be a few weeks in getting set up as we have the house on the market and will probably be moving very soon. As soon as we are settled I will be on the air.
