Hi Folks
Has anyone heard of a way of using skype as the carrier for a modem? I
just think it would be really simple if you didn't need to connect up
the modem cable etc...
Regards
Michael

I don't know if this capability exists (and not sure why you would want
it), but the following URL is a good starting place for this type of
question:

It would allow you to dial in to any system with only broadband
available to you instead of requiring a phone line. Handy if you are
out and about trying to get onto servers etc.
I honestly don't know what the big deal is about skype. The fact that
you still have to have your PC on makes it a bit of an annoyance to me.
My personal preference is the SIP based VOIP's. You can now get
hardware that you can plug into your router which can be configured via
http access to allow your normal analogue phone to work via the ADSL
connection.
To me this sounds better (well for residential use)
