I have three computers in my house(P1,P2 and C1)and they can all access the internet trough one phone line. That's pretty common.
On one of the computers(C1, not the internet gateway-P2 is the gateway) I have a phone pluged into the modem so when that modem is not in use the phone can use the phone line. Since these computers are all networked, C1 doesn't use it's modem. Is there a way that the phone on C1 can access the phone line that is attache to P2? C1 can already access the internet through that very phone line. I think I will need a third-party program.

In other words: a phone is plugged into an unused modem, and you want voice communications over the ethernet connection to the computer connected to the outside phone line. Mmm... I don't think so, but it sounds intriguing. Do you have a "voice" modem?

I don't think that either the unused or the used modems are voice. I think just data/fax. Quite sure. I know for sure that the unused one is just data/fax.
