I want to rig up my computer to be a tty/tdd set for the hearing impaired. I found this software.

I'm trying to avoid building the circuit.
I was thinking of using of these instead.

These things are designed to connect handsets to the sound card, but I want to connect the sound card to the handset connector on the phone. Does that work? How does the handset communicate with phone?
Re: How does a telephone handset work?
If you want to be legal, don't. use a voice-capable modem with
apropriate sound drivers. Or use accoustic coupling, tape a speaker to
phone's microphone and an microphone to the phone's speaker.
If you don't think you'll get caught. use isolating transformers in
place of the speaker and microphone of the receiver and connect them
to line-in and line-out on the sound card, you may need to add
resistors to reduce the volume levels.

I can't believe these overpriced TTY/TDD devices. They look like 1970's teletype machines with an old fashion modem and a calculator display. I want a card I can plug into my computer.

Is there a reason why you don't just connect a standard modem to your
computer? My understanding is they often support both voice and data
operations. Why do you need to reinvent the wheel? I just saw a 56 kbps
modem on ebay for $30 plus shipping. Plug it into the wall, plug it into
your computer and you are good to go, no?

That seems crazy. Maybe they don't realize it doesn't need to be different?
It has been a long time since I've worked with modems, but the audio
interface should work the same as a sound card under windows. It should
appear as an audio device. Obviously there has to be some difference so you
can take the phone off hook. I remember when the win modems came out they
weren't much more than a sound chip and the telephone DAA.
Maybe someone here knows if a built in modem has an interface compatible
with a sound card?
