The Taiwanese company
Asustek Computer plans to launch two models of motherboards together with telephone adapters: these will be
M2N / TeleSky and
P5B / TeleSky .
Asus TeleSky phone adapter will be supplied with each of the motherboards, as well as a voucher for 60 free minutes of SkypeOut service.

The TeleSky adapter is equipped with two telephone RJ-11 connectors: one for the telephone and one for the telephone cable. After connecting all of this system, the telephone works in the same way as before, it receives calls from a regular telephone line, but at any time you can run Skype on your computer, and at that moment your home phone becomes a VoIP device.
The device itself is connected to the motherboard via USB and works in Windows 2000, XP, MCE or XP64 operating systems.

The adapter on the motherboard is another simple way to connect to VoIP-telephony for the average user, not spoiled by technical education and love for the PC. Especially for such users, other products are also being released onto the market, gradually “pushing” Skype from a personal computer. These are Skype phones that connect either via a USB port or directly to a DSL modem. Recently, the first
WiFi-enabled phones with Skype and Google Talk .
VoIP-gates begin to work
in cellular networks .
Both motherboards should appear in retail sales in all regions within three weeks. The price is still unknown. TeleSky itself will not be sold separately, but its
TA-CP400 twin is being
sold , there are similar devices from other manufacturers.
If the experiment with adapters is successful, then in the future chipsets with VoIP support may appear, and then the RJ-11 connector for skypephone on the motherboards will become as standard as the PS / 2 connector now.
