Maplins has this model, which is compatible with several VOIP providers:

They also have this, - I've just bought one of these, (couldn't resist the

"bargain", since it had =A310 off!!) - not had a chance to play
with it yet=
though...

I already use the Skype service with one of these: http://www.maplin.co.uk/=
Module.aspx?ModuleNo=3D47494&doy=3D26m9  - I got one for all my main
family=
members so we can all get free calls to each other, and the call quality i=
s for the most part very good, and usually indistinguishable from a
"normal=
" POTS call.

Well, for starters, it's based on a P2P network design, and secondly,
it's a proprietary negotiation protocol (unlike SIP) so you can ONLY
call people that use Skype (or any other service that Skype provide eg
landline calling) so you're locked into their service.
