You can always use Voip. and with the right card, you should be able to control a ham radio, sort of like a phone.

Yeah i have skype and google voice, the idea is i dont like the stationary phone on my table and thats the number everyone calls or transfers to, second the fax machine is also a nuisance (yeah i know there is still companies that need me to send fax to them).

I just realized my PC dont have telephone line IN , though to go and buy a USB adapter but not sure if it will work cas i do have PABX.
 
why PABX an issue?
PABX needs special equipment to work with. PABX is proprietary technology and needs to use PABX telephone set of the same brand of the PABX console.

Unless your PABX supports SIP, one of the Voice over IP technology, linking the PABX line to your computer is meaningless.
