Out of bona fide curiosity, and without casting opinions, why would I as a home user be interested in any way in VOIP. I do use skype to overseas friends/family and for them a POTS handset would be a PITA, also Rome was not built in one day! 50% of them are winders-only. All opinions welcome, but I need to say cost is not an issue: 60% of my phone acct is the landline that I need for ADSL.
