http://www.cidavdigital.com/voip.html Click the word Linux and you get: Step 1: Download & Install Skype for Linux http://www.skype.com/download Step 2: Download & Install LINUX driver Built-in) http://cidavdigital.com/LinuxSkypeMate1.1.0.0.1 Step 3: Connect USB Phone and then you can make calls by it. Support Models: CIDAV 660 CIDAV 770 They are an Israeli company with MOC approval for the 770 and Hebrew manuals. I've used the 770 (USB ATA) with Windows, and the 660 (USB Handset) with Windows and UNIX (MacOS), but never used either with Linux. I am NOT a fan of Skype. I bought mine at BUG, but they no longer have them on their website. Someone in Jerusalem was selling the D-Link version of the 770, but I don't know how compatible they are with the drivers or if D-Link has Linux drivers for theirs. His also had MOC approval. > > I would go with Skype "VoIP" phones, where no PC is required. > > Can't suggest a model, but I was in the past considering the Belkin one, > until > I found out no one in Israel imports it - unless you buy it and then you wait > 21 days for it to arrive. http://www.bug.co.il/prodtxt.asp?id=5591&perur=4 I have seen them in the store in Malcha (Jerusalem), but it was a while ago. 599 NIS.
