easy newbie question about Voip, faxing, video conf, etc
ok. i am a newbie to Voice over Ip, video conferencing, faxing from my pc, etc. Sorry, just to warn everyone in advance, this is a multi-part question. I have one phone line in the house this is how it is running now:
------------->splitter---- ---->phone
|
|
splitter-------->DSL
|

PC modem------>all-in-one printer/fax
I have netmeeting, hotfax, a logitech webcam with integrated microphone (USB), and speakers
1) how can i place a call to an outside phone and communicate through my pc mic and speakers
2) will hotfax fax documents in this config
3) is IP telephony from a pc to phone line (or another pc) free or do i need a service provider.
4) Also, do i need some sort of virtual phone app to communicate over my pc to a phone line

You *might* be able to do that. It really depends on how the PC sees the mic on the webcam.
I know that X-Lite works with USB headsets, so it should be much the same way. Only way to find out is to try it though :)
