I was registered with iconnect, but could never get the thing working properly - i could call and could hear the person on the other end, but they could never hear me. I did the diagnostic check of the headset and am confident that this works properly as I also loaned the headset to a friend and he said it worked fine as his system worked (different brand computer). I would like to try and get this working again, however, am now thinking of using the 'skype' software which is avaiable over the net. Before I do this though I want to make sure that my computer can actually make these calls. I spent a lot of time doing various searches and unfortunately I am not real computer savvy so pls bear with me if I write something wrong...it will just show my uneducated thoughts. What I can tell you is that I have a Inspiron 5100 with a SigmaTel C-Major Audio card and a PCTel 2304WT V.92 MDC modem. I did a 'query modem' in the diagnostics screen of the phone and modem options directory screen and on one of the lines in the response box it says " PCTel 2304WT V.92 MDC Modem Data/Fax".......so this seems to me that my modem does not support voice....but I am confused because of my earlier partial success of using the computer to call up landlines in other countries. Any help would be greatly apprecaited pjb89
