Re: Skype phones for Linux?
Hi, I tried just one USB Skype phone - Philips (don't remember which model) and it didn't work - no clue to how to get it to work, no usb support apparently in Skype for Linux? but this was 6 months ago. I would go with Skype VoIP phones, where no PC is required. Can't suggest a model, but I was in the past considering the Belkin one, until I found out no one in Israel imports it - unless you buy it and then you wait 21 days for it to arrive. If that is the case, I rather buy it next time I am in the US :) That way I can try it out while I am still there to confirm that it works as planed.

Re: Skype phones for Linux?
If you decide for skype voip phone, then go for snom. It's good. I used it once just for VOIP not for skype. http://www.snom.com/en/products/voip-the-right-choice/ On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 6:27 PM, Oren Held [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Following the Woohoo, Skype subscription now works also in Israel news, has anybody got experience with Skype phones over Linux? 10x - Oren = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As an addendum, the D-Link device is called a D-Link DPH-50U, and it's on the OpenSuse Driver Wish List, so I think it's safe to assume you won't be able to get it to work. http://en.opensuse.org/Wishlist_Drivers#D http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=466 Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Support Models: CIDAV 660 CIDAV 770 They are an Israeli company with MOC approval for the 770 and Hebrew manuals. I've used the 770 (USB ATA) with Windows, and the 660 (USB Handset) with Windows and UNIX (MacOS), but never used either with Linux. I am NOT a fan of Skype. I bought mine at BUG, but they no longer have them on their website. Someone in Jerusalem was selling the D-Link version of the 770, but I don't know how compatible they are with the drivers or if D-Link has Linux drivers for theirs. His also had MOC approval.
