ived used usb phones/ ata's and i much prefer a hardware based ip phone/ata

currently using a cisco 7960 ip phone
plus have 2 cisco atas runnign high quality and the benefit of running over ethernet,

alot easier for your infrastructure can just plug them into a spare cat5 outlet in anyroom

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.

I have the above box which I would love to work with VoiPCheap, but can't get the box to work. Can anyone suggest a site whereby I can download the appropriate software?

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.

You Don't have to use this with JUST Skype, you can use it with voipbuster/voipcheap and others, I use it all the time.

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.
