The USB Skype Phone Adapter from Von-phone is basically an RJ-11 (regular phone) adapter that plugs into the USB port of a PC or a MAC and allows you to control Skype from your home or office phone…. I can simply pickup the normal home phone, dial *, and make calls to my Skype contacts or SkypeOUT numbers…. With the recent level of international calls we’ve been making, this should pay for itself in about two weeks due to the money we will save by using SkypeOUT for international calls, and in some cases direct Skype to Skype calls.
