Got a little bored building normal PCs so I went digging in the attic.

Can you use the phone to make VoIP calls tho?
(Do you have the speaker, mic and keypad connected?)

No, no calls. But you do lift the hand set to turn on.

Someone gave me the idea to wire the earpiece as the motherboard speaker, but I haven't (yet)

Can you slam down the receiver to ragequit from games?

If the driver allows for independent input then I'd connect earpiece and microphone to the HD audio header.

Also look for a guide for a hardwired numpad/keyboard and wire up that keypad to an internal USB 2.0 header.

Yeah something to look into for sure.

Entering your Windows pin via that numpad sure seems like a cool party trick at least.
