fyi,
a belkin skype wifi hand phone or my computer are now my only phone
connections.  hand phone works at home on my access point or from an
Internet cafe. no land line.

the dsl line provides 3mb down and 768 up, tested.  the connection
sometimes drops, though the Internet access does not. i have to be
careful to talk clearly and loud enough, and even so sometimes it sounds
bad.

i have put the 19195604601 into speed dial to call 911 but they could
not locate me. 18003733411 is free 411 but there are advertisements.

anyone have experience with this arrangement?  daughter in europe and
son in chicago are the motivation for skype.  plus i'm experimenting
with being out of touch-  though you can just turn the cell phone off.
said the recluse.
cheers,
bob
