Skype - is it any good?

very interesting, tried the free trial on Blueface last night.

questions:

1) in the free trial the "dublin number" meant that whoever rang me had to type in an extra 5 digit extension on getting through - I presume when u sign up the number is dedicated to you alone?

2) Where does one get an ATA to use a normal phone?

3) Am I correct in assuming that if I hooked up a Dect wireless phone that I would not have to worry about the strenght of the router signal as the base would be connected directly to the router and the wireless phone would work in the normal way anywhere around the house?

4) I presume with a telephone attached, the computer can be turned off once the modem/router are on?

Thanks in advance
