Default I GUARANTEE YOU THIS SIMPLE TASK WILL STUMP YOU!
I use cox [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]communications[/COLOR][/COLOR] digital telephone service. I need to send and receive phone calls / faxes from my existing phone number. I can't change my number because I have used it for years and it's in advertizing print. The Skype interface is perfect but I can't keep my number and I cant recieve faxes with Skype so its out. I run a business you see. I want to use a wireless usb headset which I already own with a softphone [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]application[/COLOR][/COLOR] like the skype interface so I can copy and paste phone numbers from an [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]email[/COLOR][/COLOR] into the interface and dial out. I can do this with magic jack but the quality sucks balls so I figured there must be a way to plug my phone line which has great quality into my computer and use a softphone application to dial out. Guess what I found out? It is impossible even though you could accomplish this feat with windows 95 back in the day it is now an impossibility. I bought a zoom usb [COLOR=blue !important][COLOR=blue !important]modem[/COLOR][/COLOR] but I cannot find a softphone that will recognize it. I run windows 7 64 bit. I cannot accept that this simple thing I want to do is impossible. Arrrrg its maddening lol. If you have any ideas I would really appreciate it.

So in summary: we need to connect existing digital land line + Computer + softphone interface + wireless usb headset.

Should be simple but it aint...
Thank
