Hello. I am looking for having a new telephone for my office. I don't have much space so I wish to avoid having one telephone doing traditional landline call and another headset doing ekiga call. I am thinking having one telephone is enough.
Idea A: Buy a traditional telephone that has a micophone and speaker jack plug. I plug it to my notebook so when I use ekiga the audio jack plug is used, when I do traditional phone call the RJ11 plug is used. Such a telephone does not require any digital parts and does not act as a USB device. First I am not sure if such device exists, then if it exists I don't know what keyword to search in ebay. Further I have an iBook,which has a special jack socket that have 4 contacts and handles both speaker & microphone (instead of other notebooks with two jack socket, one for microphone and one for speaker, each with 3 contacts). I am worrying maybe having a compatible device is difficult, then I need to buy a "splitter" to convert my 4-contact jack socket to two 3-contact jack sockets. Idea B: Buy a USB telephone that act as audio playback and audio capture device in Linux. First I am not sure if such device supports traditional telephone line. Then both two devices mentioned in http://wiki.ekiga.org/index.php/Controling_Ekiga_using_an_USB_phone are not found in ebay China.
