I used to have a routine that worked on a phone jack, but never one that would connect over a router / modem. My current phone is on a cable modem.
I'm not sure about that. That sounds like VoIP.
@Spriggsy
And the jingle comes back to bite me! VoIP. Old school was to use either use Windows Phone Dialer or write your own. Both went out over an RS232 plug-in modem. Ah, the slow old days of dial up internet. Hey to get away from being serious for a moment, funny and true story. There was a company back then that time period that had a similar business service. They wanted to be known as Dial-U-Pass, but when they domained their company name, it of course came out as... www.dialupass.com. I don't know about you, but I have a hard enough time placing a number from the outside world, and no one gets good reception inside a tunnel, anyway.
I think on my old rip/xp, I had a phone jack in the back, and rigged up some program that would dial out over it, so basically a phone number stored in a program could be clicked and the phone would start dialing. That's basically what I'm looking for now, a way to get my computer to send the number to my cable phone, so I can dial out over that connection directly by "dialing" (clicking) the number from my computer. Since the cable modem has a phone jack, I think I'd have to have a way to go through my internet connection to the modem, or get some device attached to my laptop I can put a phone cord that goes to that modem, just the way my current phone connects to the back of that modem, now.
