Originally, I was looking for a solution to make/receive phone calls using PC, modem, telephony software and landline. Strictly, I do not want to use Internet/VOIP.
After reading a lot in Internet, I finally settled on the following simple solution that works very well for me.
Bought PROLINK 56K USB Fax/Data Modem 1456UC. Installed on my PC, it works fine. Dial tel number using Windows 7 Phone Dialer. Talk using normal phone.
