Okay it's nice not being tied to the PC (I guess you could get away with some sort of Bluetooth headset) but I found that sometimes when I was using the computer it was easier to use a headset rather than holding a phone handset. > You don't need to a phone line - there are services that you can access > that will connect you to the PSTN should you require - last time I > looked the pricing was quite good but that assumed you weren't paying > for the phone line you've probably already got for your broadband.

Tut tut :-D (/me checks to make sure I'm not on the neighbours wireless ;-) IIRC Sipgate comes to mind. I never did get it working with my Vonage box (with an updated Linksys firmware) and since haven't really had the time or inclination to do owt about it. I might though see if I can find an alternative firmware for my BT Home Hub (if I could reconfigure the phone handset that comes with it to use VoIP then all the better).
