IP Softphone 2050 overview
The IP Softphone 2050 is a business telephone application that you can 
use to make and take calls over your computer. Using a headset or 
handset connected to your PC, you control calls with a click of the mouse 
pointer, from your PC keyboard, or from the USB Audio Adapter.
Designed to work with IP-based phone systems, the IP Softphone 2050

Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN). 
The server that supports your IP Softphone 2050 determines the features
