[wellylug] Phone handset for SIP/Skype & POTS

[Jim Cheetham]

I'm looking for a cordless telephone handset, that will connect to the
normal phone line (POTS) as well as to "something" for SIP and/or
Skype.

If the "something" is "a PC over USB", then it needs to be a Linux OS.
It might be "The Internet over 802.11" in which case the PC is
irrelevant.

Any experience with such a device is welcome. My preference at the
moment is to use it with Skype because it looks like their $$$ deals
are better than any I can find from SIP providers; however data on a
SIP provider who can get close to the current SkypeOut Pro pricing
would be welcome.
