ASUS Integrates VOIP and PSTN Into Motherboards

Posted by kdawson on from the talk-long-pay-little dept.

yahyamf writes "ASUS recently announced that their TeleSky telecom adapter will now be included in two of their motherboards. The TeleSky converts an ordinary house phone into a multi-functional Skype phone. With one jack connected to the house phone and the other to the ground telephone line, the TeleSky can switch the house phone connection between the PSTN and VoIP networks. While it sounds interesting, how would this compare to the dedicated VOIP adapters available from SIPURA and others?"

    I'd rather have an integrated 386 and maybe 1-6 MB of memory. That way I can see if the motherboard works without having to plug in a processor, and most motherboards already come with on-board video anyway. I don't understand why no one else has done this since a 386 is only about 300,000 transistors - barely anything in the transistor budget.
