[SEL] Anyone using Skype

[Al Harris]

George,

No fees, free service for FWD's VOIP. Yep, extra if you go out 
into the Public Network.

I have a Linksys VOIP Voice Analogue Telephone Adapter 1 Port 
FXS connected to a port on my Netcomm Modem/router. I have a 
Uniden Portable base plugged into the Linksys and the Uniden 
Portable on my belt.

I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Cheers,
Al
etc
