Using the pc as a telephone handset...?

I am aware that a lot of people are asking this question. But the answers to their questions don't seem to apply to mine.

See, I have a 56K modem already set-up. As a matter of fact, I use this modem to connect to the internet. However, my mom sort of gave me the idea of using my PC as a phone.

I've already tried some solutions from Microsoft and other 3rd Party software, but somehow I don't get the results I need or promised by the software.

I'm using XP, and I tried using MS outlook to start a call. This resulted with me hearing the other end, but the other does not hear me.
Now, to my questions...
Is there a way to use my PC as a telephone?
Using windows, is there a way to do this with outlook or any stock software?
What FREE 3rd party software can you recommend as a solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance!
Hope you can help me.
Ciao! :)

I would suggest you to use skype software which is free and it lets you make free calls from one pc to another.
for download go to www.skype.com

Yeah, Skype seems to be leading the way. But it's way better with a high speed connection. Either DSL or cable.
