would anyone have a spare 56K modem that they don't use anymore?
My brother wants to set up his comp so that he can make calls through his headset using a program like 'phone dialer'.
He doesnt have a 56K modem cos we're on BBand.
Anyways, if theres a spare one going and you dont mind parting with it i'd really appreciate it, cheers

Would he not be safer to set up a VOIP service, something like Skype etc?

I tried downloading and installing skype but it wants my details and will give me a seperate bill for calls made on the comp.
If i get a modem i'll be able to use a house phone emulator and get billed as if it was a regular call made through a regular phone.

nah he's one of these newbie's to anything computery. He wants to have the ability to make calls to mobiles and landlines using the existing phoneline in the house while sitting at the computer.

Most new digital cordless telephones come with headsets now.

Surely it would be alot easier to use a headset direct to the phone line.. bluetooth or what not, 56k would be pointless when your forking out for BB.

put his phone next to his pc. :P
