Is it possible to connect to a landline or mobile number from the computer(using Media Ring )when I am using a broadband connection for the internet. I know the gateways and primary and secondary DNS for my Lan. If it is possible what else would I be needing for the connection to be feasible.

many indian companies like SIFY have net telephony options u can get calling cards from them for calling abroad n stuff.

for local calls i think its da same cost.

Well Skye does that, but that's not free for PC to landline/mobiles. For PC to PC, it's free.
