Also, I checked out the phone setup forum and realized they're all names I've never even heard of. What brand of phone would you suggest for a beginner?
Hi chelsknits,
All you really need is one of these:
You take any traditional corded telephone or DECT telephone and plug it into the back of the OBi100 in the link above and then use an ethernet cable to connect the OBi100 to your router. You have everything you need hardware wise to use VoIP.
Handy for a second phone line or as a replacement for your main land line as long as you have an active broadband connection. :)
