It's a rainy day, and I'm thinking about going down to best buy to buy a skype phone and booting windows, to test out the general idea. With skype, there's, amazingly, a USB phone which supposedly works with linux : <http://support.a-link.com/phonemate/IPU1.htm>. The ones at Best Buy require windows, but I might try it out just to see how things go. Either way I'll probably return the skype phone. If the skype phone works I'll keep looking into a SIP hardware phone or ATA. thanks, Thufir
