Hello, A soft phone is simply a telephone that is implemented in software that runs on your computer. It utilizes your sound card with microphone and speakers or, better still, a pair of headphones with a microphone included. If you use Skype, it is similar, only it is intended to replace a regular telephone and is typically used in business environments. Darrell Shandrow - Accessibility Evangelist Michele Y.

What's a Soft Phone and how is tit related to Jaws? I was imagining a land line phone handset with big, spongy buttons. But I guess that isn't it. Thanks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Culmer" <culmerandy@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, December 14, 2007 8:08 AM Subject: Re: Soft Phone I am not sure witch one I have. When I downloaded a program, this came with it. I did not know that this came with it until I saw it on my computer. With Soft Phone, I can call computer to computer or computer to land line. Can I do the same with Skype? culmerandy@xxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Darrell Shandrow To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2007 3:01 PM Subject: Re: Soft Phone Hello Andy, There are a number of these "soft phone" implementations on the market. Which one are you asking about specifically? There's an accessible solution that works with Cisco call managers. Check out: http://www.ipblue.com There's another, newer, solution that is accessible for a number of other PBX systems: http://www.tenacitycorp.com Both solutions are known to be accessible.
