i would like to use my xda2 as a regular wireless phone.
i thought it could be possible by putting an isdn-card into my pc and then connect to that pc via bluetooth.
however i have no idea how to do it or what software is needed.

could anyone help me with this please?

Wait, let me get this straight:
You want to use your XDA2 and laptop to dial through the fixed phone line where XDA will act simply as wireless headset (like DECT phones)?

I don't think such software exists, the closest you can get is using Skype over WiFi or the PC internet connection (via ActiveSync).

Besides, can ISDN card even make voice calls? I think you need a good old fashion analog modem for that.

afaik there does exist a software for that for linux, but my pc is windows based.
and yes, isdn can make voise calls (search google for isdn cis).
for linux have a look at this post:

Asterisk (http://www.asterisk.org/) works. You'll have to set up a linux box to run it on though.

You could run linux on a secondary inexpensive low spec box. Don't be afraid of linux, it's worth giving it a try :)

im not afraid of linux, but i have two pcs, one htpc and one to work with.
and since i do not want to reboot one of these to be able to use my telephone, i just cant install linux.
and since im still going to school, i dont have that much money to afford another pc.

so does nobody know of a windows solution for this problem?
