OK, we've moved away from home, left the kids. But have moved an STD call away
. Time for VOIP.
Have been using Skype free between computers, but the kids never have computers on or are near them at the right time when Mum calls.
Thinking of putting a Skype VOIP phone at the old home, so Mum can call from her PC and hopefully get someone to pickup!
I have an available broadband port at the old home - extended to the family room a year or so ago and generally not used.
How about I buy and plug in one of these Philips DECT/Internet Phone VOIP841?

The Dick's price is $299.95. I can get it elsewhere for $279.99.
I don't want anything more sophisticated then to be able to Skype to a handset at the old home, and perhaps have the kids Skype back to our Pcs from that handset. I don't intend to use the landline capabilities of the phone, nor pay Skype a cent.
Am I on the right track? (By the way I'm 1500/256 kbps at either end)
Thanks in advance
