Try using Asterisk's (http://www.asterisk.org) "console" interface (it
grabs from the local hardware, as well as outputs) and then you can use
any one of hundreds of different ways to access it remotely, whether by
phoneline or VoIP, you can have a full conversation with the other end
(or just not plug in speakers). Some may say this is a little overkill,
but Asterisk has an extremely wide range of uses aside from just
traditional IVR etc. Just strip off what you don't need and it'll run
fairly small. 
(And yes, I know this works. You can have a good conversation talking to
a closed door in my office with someone practically anywhere in the
world - you just look like you've lost your marbles)
