Skype guru needed

[djSlvt]

Here is a simple question: I live in the US and I have some family outside the country. Can I setup a number via skype so that it is outside my country where they live, so I could call them using cheap local rates, and so that they can call me via their local number as well? How?

You might get a number in their country (ie: Canada, nope ).

If you get a number, they can call that number and it'll ring your skype. Simple?

Or, you can both get skype and talk for free.

I got a few more, since Im switching from DSL to Cable and from regular phoen to VOIP.


Can I use skype and Vonage or other VOIP over one single internet connection?

I plan to connect all phones in my house so that they work through regular lines, i.e. same as vonage. BUT, vonage is a bit expensive, spyke is kind of cool, $33 a year and unlimited calling. So I am wondering if I could use hardware (linksys PAP2 or similar) to allow skype to provide phone service through out my house?

You can run a whole server off one line. The only problem lies within whether Skype and Vonage share ports....that I dont' know, I'm too busy to search.

Ok, but what about the really important question. Can skype be used just like vonage (i.e. to have it run all my phones via the lines I already have)?


Another thing, if that is indeed possible. Can I run skype (client) on my PC, and have the adapter run my phones, at the same time? Because I bet running skype on two computers at the same time and with same account is not possible.
