So I got my order from phoneconnector.com this week. Its an rj11 to usb connector, so you can plug any regular phone into it and use it for skype.

I must say I'm quite impressed, and with the $34 uniden phone I got on woot.com I am super hooked up.

I have 2 cordless phones, running spread spectum at 2.4ghz (without dropping the wi-fi amazingly) and a speaker phone base station with answering machine. So I can strategically leave the phones around the house and always hear when someone is skype'ing me.

( I can be reached on skype almost anytime, I'm "cdf12345" and if I don't pickup, the answering machine will get it after 4 rings...so leave a message)

Overall for $85 ($35 phone, $40 phone connector,$ 10 for skypeout) I have a nice system and 500 minutes of skypeout calling to actual phones in the u.s. And europe.

Can't wait for skypein this summer!
