Netgear-SPH200D Dual Mode Cordless Phone Review - CNET
CNET have published a review of the Netgear SPH200D Dual Mode Cordless Phone with Skype which facilitates internet and landline calls on one cordless handset without the necessity to be connected to your PC. 'The Netgear SPH200D comes in three pieces. The largest item--a white box the size of an average cable or DSL modem--is the hub, and must be connected via its included Ethernet cable to a broadband modem, router, or switch/hub (we tested it with a pair of Netgear HDX101 powerline Ethernet adapters, for example). If you want to tap into your existing phone system, you'll need to have the hub close to a phone jack (there's a standard RJ-11 phone jack alongside the Ethernet port on the back of the hub). The box is powered by your typical oversize AC adapter, which can be a pain to deal with if your power strip is already full.'
