There is nothing to stop you using a phone adapter with a laptop and Residential Voip Provider Voip Phones. However ATA adapters use ethernet to connect so the laptop would have to provide a Business IPPBX network - not too difficult if you know what you are doing. Windows has instructions for making the network and Linux can do the same.
I have generally found that the best results on a laptop are obtained using a good quality USB headset.

Excellent info. THank you for posting this.

Hi guys, great forum, exactly what i have been looking for, so hopefully you can help me with this.

I am using X-Lite on my PC at the moment with a LinkSys Phone Adaptor and generic telephone and it works great, but what i would like to know is:-

Can i somehow use my wireless laptop with the Phone Adaptop+Generic Phone. At the moment im restricted to using a USB voip phone and would like to have the option of a proper voip handset, either with or without an adaptor.

Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance
