take a look at the new Siemens Gigaset range of consumer products that allow VoIP connection to Skype and SIP services.

Use the Gigaset M34 combined with the Gigaset SL565 for Skype or SIP service calling. The Gigaset M34 is a USB dongle that acts as the PC audio device and registers with the DECT phone base. You make an internal call between the phone handset and the M34 and then have access to the buddy list etc for making calls.

Alternatively, use the Gigaset C460IP for SIP calls. This is a SIP enabled DECT phone where the handset is a standard DECT/GAP handset and the base is SIP enabled to connect to PSTN and your broadband router.

Look up suppliers of these products on Google.
