turn a regular phone into a skype phone
gizmodo has a post about a USRobotics adaptor that will allow you to turn a regular phone into skype phone.
“Imagine a world where you can use the same phone to make both regular calls and Skype calls. Does such a world even exist? Thanks to USRobitics and their recently announced USR809620 it sure does. It’s an adapter that allows you to use your normal, everyday phone in both the traditional sense (read: hooked up to a telephone line) as well as with Skype.”
Everythingusb says:
“Thanks to advanced compression, echo cancellation and advanced signal processing you get ’supposedly’ good call quality over either PSTN lines or via Skype. The adapter even allows you to forward incoming Skype calls to a cell phone and features call waiting between Skype and standard phone calls. Caller ID functionality displays the Skype ID or the phone number depending on the call type.”
