Many of you probably know a lot more about this than anyone I could ask around here, so even though this is off topic for this mailing list I would like to ask everyone's indulgence for the following question: My wife is from a very small island nation, and no long distance plan that I've ever seen includes long distance to or from that location. Calling "home" costs a fortune. However, since Internet is now available there, it seems to me that Skype will be the answer for her mother to be able to call and receive calls from family members around the world without running up a huge phone bill. Since her mother is an elderly lady who has never used a computer, I'm thinking that the solution would be for her to get an Internet connection and one of those Skype phones that plug directly into a modem with no computer required. Her mother won't be intimidated by "just a telephone" and she would actually use it. (Yes, an Internet connection just for use with Skype would be well worth the cost.) I'm looking for a recommendation for a good Skype phone to get for this purpose, and where to get one. They use 220v power there, but that shouldn't be much of an issue -- I think almost everyone there has 110v stepdown bricks for various small appliances. And, as far as I know, an ethernet connection is an ethernet connection so a phone we get here should plug into whatever she gets for a modem. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
