Can I just add a recommendation for the Draytel VigorTalk unit? I've got a Draytek Router with this built in; and it really was simple to set up. I expected it to be a complete sod, but in practise it took about three minutes from start to finish, and worked straight out of the box. More to the point, it takes a dect phone, and doesn't need to be plugged in to anything other then your router; so the phone is available 24/7, even when the PC is switched off.
Prices are very competitive as well; if fact, I think that's becoming a general thing, whereby Skype are so dominant, that all their competitors are having to beat them on price, or just close down.
Costs £29.99; I haven't yet found anyone who has cracked it to use voipbuster or any other provider (although it calls out to all of them), but as it's been done with my router, I guess it's just a matter of time.

OK, dont' install the Skype driver.
Download the VOIPBUSTERMATE from yealink.com/en/otherdown.asp
Install it.
Now providing you have VOIPCHEAP running on startup, this utility will automatically bring the VOIPCHEAP screen when you pick up the reciveer then you PRESS *, then just dial 0044(number) and press # to dial out.
I have this setup, going into a normal DECT cordless phone, so all I do is start my computer, which automatically logs into my login. wait a few secs and then use my handset to do the rest, no messing about with the computer.
Sorry if above is rushed, at work so have to keep it quick.0 -

Do you have broadband or dial up?, as I use broadband via a router. I emailed Aria last week when I first saw it, enquiring whether this could be used with voipbuster/voipcheap and so far they have not replied.
Your post has revitalised my hope.
