Re: Skype Phones - USB

[LeeUKHA <mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I nearly bought one of those boxes that accepts a PSTN line and phone,
so you can use the same phone for Skype and PSTN calls - seemed like the
ideal bit of kit to insert into the exchange line before the PABX...
Until re-reading the advert and then finding the user manual confirmed
that the normal phone (and hence all the house phones the other side of
the PABX) only ring on an incoming PSTN call...  An incoming Skype call
makes the box bleep...  Not much use when it's buried in a cupboard...
Shame...
