I don't know if I'm in the right category or not but maybe you guys can help.

I would like to use my computer as my phone. I have landline phone service and want to keep it, but I want to do away with my cordless phone and use my computers modem and a headset with a microphone as my physical phone.

I ordered that product called "MagicJack" awhile back and although I sent it back because the phone service was terrible, in my opinion, it did allow me to plug a headset into my PC and dial a phone number from the computer and talk to people and even receive calls from other landline users.

I basically want to do the same thing, but with my landline phone service. Is that possible?
