buckymatters writes "Christoffer Järnåker has converted an old home phone to be used with Skype, MSN voice chat or other similar software. Using the 'highly scientific method Trial and Error' he uncovered the input and output of the phone, wired it up and began talking 300 meters away from his computer on MSN."

    Isnt the article just about providing for a head phone and mic wire from an existing phone?

    It doesnt allow you to punch numbers and call to skype directly.

    Nice hack but the story title is misleading.
