Make a call from your computer using your house phone?

Question

is there a program that you plug your computer into the wall (like you do for dial-up) then you type in a number (in the program) and it calls it allowing you to talk through your microphone, and hear through the speakers? and NOT a program like skype of VoIP. but a simple program that uses your land line?

Answer 1

You need a Voice Modem installed in your PC.

Then, you need the PSTN telephone interface software.

NCH Swift Sound has a full suite of software for this purpose:
