A system and method for facilitating transmission of voice and data between a PC and a remote telephony device. A cordless telephone system having a base station and at least one cordless handset also includes a first modem, caller ID functionality, and telephone answering machine functionality. A computer, having a second modem and a sound card is connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) via an adapter that has a controllable switch. After a connection is established between the first and second modems with the switch in a first configuration, the adapter is controlled to put the switch in a second configuration such that incoming signals transmitted from the base station over the PSTN are routed to the sound card. Accordingly, both data and audible signals can be retrieved by the computer from the base station over the same PSTN connection.
