Give your answer to this question below!
Generally speaking, yes, you can use any kind of telephone.
This is assuming you have an ATA (analog telephone adapter) that accepts RJ-11 plugs from regular telephones. Most ATA phone adapters do accept regular phones.
As already mentioned you can use a standard phone if you have some type of adapter.
You can also use a softphone, software that allows you talk with a microphone and speakers through your computer. ex: http://www.nch.com.au/talk/index.html
Or you could use a USB phone plugged into your computer: http://www.altoedge.com/usbphones/index.html
Those are probably the top solutions unless you are setting up a more sophisticated LAN network and were going to want IP phones.
