Rating: - * Works well ...
[...] Can't complain it. My system is Windows 2000 so I downloaded USRobotic driver following other reviewers suggestions. Dropped after 30 seconds and quite noisy.

I then downloaded the latest software from D-Link. Although the website shows the driver is only for Vista, I still gave it a try. The Vista driver works well in my Windows 2K system. No dropped call and no noise.

I give it 5 stars based on its cost and functionality. It would be great if they have a Skype adaptor in ethernet verion so I don't need to turn on my computer and can re-use my cordless phone.

This adapter is the greatest thing since cotton candy! It was simple to install with my Windows XP and easy to use with my Skype service. I just followed directions, plugged in my wireless house phone and started making calls. [...]

Rating: - * Great Product! ...
I just got this adapter today and it took about 10 minutes to install. It works great! I couldn't be more pleased. I'm able to make and receive SKYPE calls from my old cordless phone. I don't have a traditional landline so I can't comment on making regular calls with it but for SKYPE it's soooo easy and the call quality is excellent. I just bought another one as a stocking stuffer for my mother-in-law whose is looking to get rid of her landline as well.

Tech Info: I am running Windows XP. Make sure you follow the insrtuctions carefully. You are prompted for when to attached the adapter. SKYPE needs to be downloaded onto the computer prior to the install. Finally, make sure you go into SKYPE and "allow this program to use SKYPE" on the info box. All of these steps are in the installation guide.

Rating: - * Do not buy ...
I have had this item for a week and it is the most unreliable piece of garbage I have ever used. I have had to unplug it from my computer after every call and reinstall and set up or I could not make another call. I went to D-Link and installed the latest drivers, but this still has not fixed the issues. This unit is a wast of time and money.

Easy to install. Some dropping calls, but I believe that's caused by Skype server itself.
