i4b also supports answerphone (which I don't use).  Ive had DSL for years, But
i4b also supports reporting callers number, mapped to a real human name,

Toshiba laptop has it built in to laptop, not external, I've never
tried to get it working, so dont know if it routes over an internal
USB bus http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/hardware/toshiba/satellite.s5100-603/
