Mary Esther, FL | looking for.. any thing out there that will let me plug in my phone, and use my pc as a telephone? my current internal modem doesn't have that feature, and will it work with the arris modem?
(also should point out this is a USB mic, that shouldn't make a difference)
a USB device that plugs in and lets me do these functions?
(and will display caller ID on the screen)

Springfield, IL | It is called a eMTA or for most they call it a Voice over IP Router, or ATA.
