Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008how to make calls from my pc
pls can anyone help me out with making calls from my desktop pc without using any of the messengers or skype. i have installed a pci fax modem with both line and phone ports but cant seem to route the calls through my pc so that i can make and receive calls. thx in advance!!! Regardless of what Internet calling equipment you choose, you'll need to sign up with an Internet calling service provider. Before selecting an Internet calling service, find out what software and calling equipment they require. Many service providers will sell you everything you need, including phones or headsets and some type of phone adapter or base station that plugs into your router or computer. Ask your service provider about compatibility before buying any Internet calling equipment. Equipment from one service provider may not work with another calling service.

You need to install software to do this, most modems come with some on the install disk, if not you'll have to purchase some.
