Rather than buying a Skype phone at the moment, I opted for a VoIP gateway instead. And so today I got the VP-820-L NEXPHONE Homephone Adapter. It is a slim device and plugs directly into my computer via USB. One phone jack plugs into the PSTN line while the others connect to my regular phone. The beauty of this device is that I can continue to use my regular phone for Skype calls as well as regular PSTN calls. And if I want, I can even plug in my cordless phone for making Skype calls. Of course, you won't have Skype integration into the handset, much like the Linksys phone. But for now, I have no complaints.
