PC telephone

[herbalist]

My internet service is ADSL. I also have VOIP from the same service provider. The VOIP uses a Linksys router/phone adapter supplied by my ISP. My PC runs Win2000 and 98FE. I'd like my PC to function as an additional telephone, answering machine, and call recorder. Can someone recommend software that will fill these roles? More than one application is fine if one program won't do it all.

Thanks

I've heard many praises about Venta Fax for this purpose. (I haven't used it myself).

But if you are asking about something that works with your speciffic hardware (router) then I don't know...

Thanks. I'll check it out.

There is a full-featured PBX called asterisk that is popular.

But you may be happy with a softphone. Wikipedia has a decent page with links at the bottom:
