Skype and ASUS gives Skype On a Motherboard,
Several sources, including VOIP News is reporting about new motherboards to be released by Asus M2N/TeleSky and P5B/TeleSky motherboards come with the Asus TeleSky telecom adapter, along with 60 SkypeOut minutes.
The M2N/TeleSky works with socket 2 microprocessors from Advanced Micro Devices Inc., and run DDR2 (double data rate, second generation) memory chips. The P5B/TeleSky boards run on platform LGA775 microprocessors from Intel Corp., including Intel Quad-core, Core 2 Duo, Pentium Extreme, D, and Celeron.
The VOIP applications require Microsoft Windows 2000, XP, MCE, or XP64, according to Asustek. May be some one will get them running on Linux skype too!
The Telesky Telecom Adapter lets you connect a regular phone and a PSTN line to the computer holding any of the above motherboards. The connectors on the adopter let you connect PSTN (public switched telephone network) and Skype VOIP calls, with jacks that connect the house phone to the PC and the PC to the phone line. The boards support all Skype functions, including SkypeIn, SkypeOut, Skype Conference, call waiting, speed-dial, and three-way calls. TeleSky supports both regular and cordless phones.
I think as long as computer is on you can make Skype and PSTN calls through this connection. If you are no planing to keep this computer running 24/7, better make that PSTN line an extension!, in case you your OS or computer crashes.
