Peter That's sound very interesting. I believe the objective is to link your laptop or PC with good quality and set. I saw the other day keyboard with built in handset but it was of poor quality and the reviews were all negative. Microsoft has is coming out with a handset and I want to find an alternative. I've seen many SKYPE type USB phones but they all seem to be weak in quality.
Surprising I saw by Aastra a keyboard/telephone but it was stand alone for text messaging. I believe the solution is for a handset and keyboard combination. Nevertheless I still search out for the solution.

This would probably work best on a PC workstation. You could put a splitter jack on the sound card's speaker jack and turn down/up the volume on the speakers as required. Actually this is kind of neat because you then have the option of a conferencing mode for callers. Microphone pickup is a issue of course. Peter M.
