Best USB modem for voice quality?

Gary Gary

I want to click a number and have Outlook or some Outlook add-on dial it
using the regular phone network, then talk using my computer mic and
speakers just like I do on Skype. I don't the phone anywhere on the desk.
Also I want to use the same hardware that I already use for Skype or any
other IM chat program. Info on this seems to be very hard to find. What
most people could use is one program that:
Dials a phone number
Faxes
Emails
SMS
Instant Messages (MSN, Yahoo & Skype compatibility would cover 98% of the
users.)

Is there really no demand for such a centralization of communication
control?

Not an Outlook question. Outlook is not CRM software and was never intended
to be.
You should be looking into CRM software. We'd have no idea here what is good
and what isn't.

Russ, why does your newsreader delete my previous post? Is that a setting
you've implemented? If so, its not a good one. If its an older thread or
if the group gets a lot of posts nobody is going to know what you're
replying about. It sort of makes the whole point of usenet useless.
Please rethink this. The point of usenet is to dispense discussions to a
wide number of people. Your setting/newsreader is only making our
conversation relevant to a very few.

As to your answer, that as well was not very well thought out. Since a
large number of CRM users use Outlook add-ons or programs that piggyback
on Outlook, there should be many people here that should know. Sure its
not an ideal group but I didn't want to have to wade through a myriad of
groups to find the ideal one. However if you or anyone else can suggest
one I'd be happy to post there instead.

(This is what your newsreader/setting deleted. But of course this is all
going to be wiped out when you reply. Do you see how illogical that is?)

You must be using the same newsreader. My previous post is not showing up
with my reply to you either. On your reply its in light gray. The #1
company that seems to revel in fonts you can barely read (think of the
absurd color scheme of Windows Live Mail!) is Microsoft. Are you using
WLM to post this? Or Outlook Express? I'm using Operamail to read this.
I wonder....if others can read this perhaps there is an interaction
between Opera and your newsreader. I look forward to your reply. Or Russ
of course. Or anybody that knows! :)
Russ has no control over what is deleted and what is shown on your
computer.

This is what should be showing up here but your newsreader elected to
deprive us of:

Settings? What setting could possibly gray out part of a reply? Its
always from the same people. Most messages look fine. So could you
please answer the question? What newsreader are you posting with?

Outlook Express on most days. Windows Live Mail today. Problem is not on
this end.

Like Russ, I've not had any problem seeing all of the messages in this thread.
I'm using Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail as my newsreaders also.

So its a bad interaction between OE or WLM and Opera. Well I'll be
dumping Opera as a newsreader soon so no matter.
