how can I use my computer as a phone(not talking about VoIP)?

Question

I want to be able to use my computer as a normal telephone. I'm not talking about VoIP. I want to plug a normal phone line into my computer and use my computer to dial on my landline and use it as if it were a phone. I don't have a Windows computer. my Operating System is debian/GNU Linux (5.0)

so, anyway... I was just wondering how I could do this..I'm pretty sure it can be done.. if you need more information just let me know. I'll add more details.

Answer 1

your choices are unconventional at best why go to such extremes when u can use your phone well you would have better luck in linux based forum

Answer 2

voip = voice over internet.

If you are going to use a phone on the computer the computer uses the internet and that IS VOIP.

It works with debian

Good luck
