Can you use version 4 to make phone calls, using a Mac? Version 3 did not have that feature.

Dialing vs. Talking

03/18, 9:01am, EST

from http://www.parliant.com/phonevalet/dialing.html "just pick up the phone — PhoneValet does the dialing for you."

from http://www.parliant.com/phonevalet/specs.html?l=navbar " Dial a number by simple double-click"

Notice in both instances, it refers to dialing... NOT using the Mac for speaking/listening.

from http://www.parliant.com/support/phonevalet/phonevalet_faq.html "Does PhoneValet let you talk on the telephone through your Mac? _Currently, no. PhoneValet is aimed at letting you get the most out of your existing telephones. PhoneValet can help you dial, and can record your conversations, but it does not currently let you take a phone call using a microphone and speakers on the computer."
