O.K. So I sprung the $15 and signed up for a year of "free" calling.
It might be kinda fun to be sitting in my favorite bar, calling
numbers on my laptop's contact list for free instead of eating up cell
minutes.

Anyway, has anyone interfaced an ATA to SKYPE and what happens on
incoming calls?

Carl,

So far, I've only used Skype online and like it, however, I have also been
looking at possibly using one of their "accessory" boxes shown on their
website to add it to a spare C.O. port on my phone system.

I used to have a link for a simple USB to RJ11 type cable, but,
unfortunately, can't seem to find it. If what they state there is true, then
this seems viable.

I'm just curious how you signed up for $15 a year, as their website
currently shows a price of $29.95 US per year.

If I find the link to the cable, I'll post it here. Hopefully, I'll get
around to implementing this very soon. Currently, I tend to use my cell
phone for long distance calling, but that's not the best solution. HTH.

Peter.

It was half-price up until Jan 31.
