Hi Everyone, I am wondering if it is possible to pipe the sound from my modem through the soundcard so that it could be treated like a mic input. Thus I would be able to use a regular telephone as a microphone/speaker for my computer, and thus allow me to use programs like Google Talk as if I were on the phone. If anyone has any ideas feel free to suggest them.

You wont be able to do it, not unless you have a modem that redirects sound through the serial cable and I don't know of any that except voice modems that have built in mike and speakers. They are only active while the telephone is off the hook. Even then the conversation is directed to the hard disk. To have it directed to an application like Google Talk would require a bespoke modem driver and sound card driver. Stuart
