How to connect my landline phone with my iMac

Hi, is there anyway to somehow connect a phone with an iMac so you can make and receive phone calls from you mac?

Basically, the reason is, my Mac has all the numbers already in the Address Book, and rather than grabbing a phone and dialing, I'd rather click a few times to start a call.

Thanks.

Jorge...

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Thanks very much. That is much more like what I need. Looking for it at Amazon led me to another solution similar, Ovolab's Phlink, which also is somehow what I need. What I really want though, is either, but wireless. My phone base is far from my iMac and I don't want to run a cable through all my house. If there was a wireless client (to join my home network) that also connected to the phone jack and did the trick, that'd be fantastic. Let me know if you know of something like that.

Skype http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-computer/macosx/

no landline needed.

Hope this solves your problem.

Not really I'm afraid. I want to connect my iMac to the landline. My monthly landline fee comes with free minutes. I want to use that, as opposed to leave my phone service unused while subscribing to skype.
