Hello folks,

I can find nothing on the web about this.

It is common now to buy a telephone handset that plugs into a PC and
allows you to make voice over IP calls.

What I want to be able to do is connect my land-line phone to my PC, and
hear the screen-reader in one ear and the caller in the other, and have
them hear me via my headset microphone.

In this way my hands are free to type anything they tell me which I must
record and can read and speak to them such things as account numbers
from a text document etc.

Anybody know of any widget that will do that?

I am bored with balancing the phone on one shoulder and half-removing my
headset so I can hear the phone and still hear my screen-reader.

Mike
