This one item I think would be a complete waste of time. To use VoIP
on any computer requires the said computer to remain on all the time -
otherwise calls cannot be made or received. Instead, and for less than
twenty quid, you can get a dedicated VoIP telephone adaptor, where you
just plug in any normal phone and an ethernet wire. Always on, always
available and much simpler to use! If you're about to replace/upgrade
your ADSL Modem anyway, then get one with VoIP capability. It gives
you the same facility (i.e. an 'always on' actual telephone) and will
also give the VoIP line priority over the connection's bandwidth.

I can't see any advantage whatever for having a software phone on any
computer, be it Windows, RISC OS or anything else!

Jeremy.
