All I want to do is for my laptop to interface with my BT landline so I can make calls/recieve from it instead of running to the damn telephone in another room.
If it were a desktop the easy answer would be to put a card in that turns the PC into a PABX, allowing pickup of calls on whatever wired phones are also connected to "PABX", <i>and</i> also to headset on that PC. I think, but am not 100% sure, that if you have such a PC and a wireless connection (or wired) to the lappy you probably would be able to have headset on laptop also. These cards were about £120 when I got one for a project 4 or 5 years ago.
Some restrictions apply: you'd have to have to install Linux as an OS, and Asterisk (possibly others available) for the PABX software, and learn how to install and manage it. It's do-able, but more faff than the average non-techie would stand.
