Via your modem if it supports voice (voice modem).\n\nDownload software - there are lots of freeware/shareware. Google --> "phone software -voip".\n\nIt will be easier to use minus before voip since there are too much voip that will cover away your real software.\n\n\nHardware: Connect phone line to your voice modem, voice modem to pc.

dunno about free pc to phone, they all charge.\nBut pc to pc download Skype.

hook your modem to the uplink on your router. hook the voip device into one of the router ports. hook you computers to the other router ports.\n\nthink of the voip box as a computer when you hook things up

there is a product u can buy and it is called netwaiting,,\nit works on the same princaple that call waiting works, when u get a call it disconnects the computer and promts u to answer the phone or reject the call. once u buy it u will need to take out your old modem and put the netwaiting modem in then install it with a disc, ( cd rom ) the one i had never did work properly as sometimes it would let me know if i had a call and other times it would not,\ni think if u check with ur phone company they may have a plan that u can purchase thru them,\n\ngood luck

Buy a Webcam, use it with the MSN Messenger, Use msn messenger for talking from computer to computer, \n\n"pc phone" to talk pc to phone, or phone to phone , also "i connect here", "voip buster". There are a lot of programs to talk on telephone.\n\nSkype is also good

you'll need your computer to have a modem installed if it has one then you can use dial up

nope, that's dial-up for you. Ask them to convert it to an ADSL line, otherwise you are SOL.

Hi,\n\nSince your using Dialup modem, it is technically not recommended to do so...\n\nYou would need a router that supports Dial Up, most new ones are not feasible to do so.\n\nActually all new routers do not have an option to do your dialup.\n\nSo your out of luck :(\n\nEven a hub cannot work since it is a one to one connection. You are connected as in a phone line... (dialing a number)\n\nThe telecom people solved that problem by creating Broadband DSL (through your phoneline). \n\nSince your telephone cable consists of data and voice. You can transmit data via telephony with your exisiting phone but you neeed registration. \n\nDSL has no dialing, but need connecting everytime you are using the internet (connecting to the data stream)\n\nDSL you can use a router since it supports it..\n\n\nSorry for your dialup, it is technically not possible to share the connection together.

What all the others have said, plus, wireless broadband costs your y-fronts and socks. The cost was so much and service touted as unreliable that I haven't bothered.\nNow, what you can do is get a bluetooth enabled cell phone and bluetooth adapter that plugs into the usb port on your computer.\nWith that arrangement, the cell becomes your modem, and the computer dials through the phone to any dial up service, much cheaper, just not a fast. \nI have a mate that is pushing me in that direction. i have the adapter, now all I have to do is get busy and get the new cellie to handle it.

Manually restart your modem if its an external modem and if it's an internal modem then switch off your pc and remove you modem from your pc for 5 to 10 min & then put it back in your pc and then restart the machine...and this will work... as this works 4 me

There are various applications out there that will allow you to do this. Best applications out there are Skype (www.skype.com) and the Gizmo Project (www.gizmoproject.com). Both apps allow you to make phone calls for free from PC to PC, but there is small charge if you want to call to a landline phone.

You need a voice modem to make calls with your computer that will work both ways. Also, you need special phone calling software. Try http://www.voicecallcentral.com/

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

you sure can but you can't use things like vontage but to talk on head phones or a mic you can call PC to PC with dial up it will just take a little longer to connect

quickest way to see if it is just your line and not your programs.\nDisconnect the phone line from the back of pc, with the same line connect to a LAND-LINE CORDED TELEPHONE.  Pick up handle and listen for a dial tone do this repeatedly if necessary.\n\nThen hook everything up again if it works then it just needed a boost, probably your providers issues.
