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)

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

Re: looking for..

All are consumer versions, depending on what you mean by Consumer version.

Re: looking for..

here, i'll try to be more descriptive:

1)from land line to
2)computer to
3)microphone/headset

(land line being cox home phone service)

so, when home phone rings, i would like to be able to pick it up via the computer. my current modem doesn't support voice.
