The telephone line and the phone itself are connected directly to an add-in bo
ard in the PC. The telephony board emulates the phone to the switch.
ADVANTAGES:
This configuration provides a direct voice path from the phone into the PC, which is useful for I/O operations. Ultimately, it can eliminate the PBX entirely.
DISADVANTAGES:
This is an expensive solution, because considerable processing power is required in each PC. If the system uses proprietary phones, it's even more costly.

theoretical--and no language better exemplifies this than C++.
