Internet Phone Wizard + Skype

I just got this neat Internet Phone Wizardfrom Actiontec. It’s a little box (about the size of a mini-hub) that you plug into your PC with USB. It then has a phone plug that you stick your phone into.

It makes using SKYPE the same as your regular phone. I can use my much loved Plantronics headset for all calls rather than having yet another pc. of hardware laying about my messed up desk.

So far, it is working great. I have it hooked to line “2″ of my phone system. This way, I can choose local or long-distance calls easily. The Skype voice quality is very good but it is a few db quieter than the same call on an analog phone. Some folks said I was quiet. I’ve boosted my mic some and that helped.

Another neat thing is now I can conference in lots of folks AND record the calls using my “Pamela” Skype tool. So far it’s working great. Hopefully I can both improve service and save a little mula as I work.
