They use an USB to phone adapter and use your ordinary phones.
I would stay away from skype and use SIP instead.

If I redownload an old version of skype from somewhere, maybe
oldversion.com, will it still work? I'm thinking of going net-based
instead of cable for long distance calls and going with a cheap line
for local so that I can still save money by downgrading my TV
package. What is accessible and cheap like skype for PC to phone?
Only thing I know of is going to involve buying some device to hook
my phone into and put inside a machine running linux and asterisk. I
have my old machine still here that I intend to use linux and speakup
on, but heard that software is a bear to configure. It seems that
yahoo and aim need the graphic thing filled out to get phone on
there, and I don't think msn does phone at all, windows messenger in XP.

hi:
Nowadays skype is still not accessible for us. But is there any way to
communicate with our friends whom used skype by using our console
programs?
No, Skype, using a proprietary protocol, does not
allow for any other apps than Skype itself to use their network...
Its part of their bussiness model.
Forget about skype, use SIP or H323 of even CallManager or
whatever. There are plenty of free VoIP protocols around.
