I took my wife to the Ideal Home Exhibition at Earl's Court yesterday. (Well one does.... I don't know who was the most bored!)

However I came across a small stand which was promoting a small piece of software allowing any mobile phone to be used on VoIP.

I am not endorsing it in any way, but it seems worth the money at £30?

See what you think, www.chat-cord.co.uk

It seems to have a USB connector and links to the line, audio in and speaker-out connections of the sound card; but then what? How do you connect it to the cordless phone?

There are similar devices available on ebay such as this one:

or this more expensive one that sends the ring through to the phone itself:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=11682&item=5179248899&r...

They look interesting, and I have to say I can see the benefits of having a free second line through eg 1899 using my broadband connection.

Question is, do these devices work with "standard" networks such as 1899? Would I be able to hook one of these between a PC and a cordless phone and use it, to all intents and purposes, like a second landline connection?

One day we will all I fear face the realisation again that we actually live in an ANALOGUE world! Sad that really.
