Using phone w/ PC VOIP application

[hotvette]

This may be ridiculous, but here goes...

I have a VOIP application on my desktop (for work) that I use at home with a simple headset with red and green speaker / microphone jacks. My standard 2-line speakerphone sitting next to my laptop at home obviously has a speaker and a microphone. Is there some way I can attach one of the phone ports of my phone to the PC jacks and use the physical phone instead of a the headset with the VOIP application? I don't care about ringing, I just want to use the speaker / microphone of the phone instead of the headset. I also don't want to go out and buy a speciality VOIP or dual use phone. I just want to use what I have.

I can imagine an adapter box that has a std phone jack on one side and PC style speaker / microphone jacks on the other. If it can (or can't) be done, can someone explain in terms that a non electrical engineer might understand? Seems so conceptually simple for a non electrical type.

P.S. If it matters, my VOIP application isn't Skype or Vonage. It is brand x.

Yes. If your speakerphone has am aux input, it could be plugged into the ear bud output of your phone.
