Part of my work over the years found such being done in lab setups. Remember I can't tell you how to get your model to do this but the maker of your terminal knows if it does it as well as how.

But why do this at all with https://ring.to/ and other open/free solutions?

Hello Bob, Thanks for your quick response. I work with my laptop often and would want to eliminating having to take calls on my phone. I want to be able to tie my gsm fixed wireless terminal to a soft phone on my system so I can take calls on the system via a headset.

The maker of your terminal would have the setup. I didn't run into any 2 that were the same.
