			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I thought I would start adding some &#8220;product reviews&#8221; since I do try out a fair amount of products and services.  I decided to pick the last product I purchased, the <a href="http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=466">Skype USB Phone Adapter &#8211; DPH-50U by D-Link</a>.<span id="more-182"></span>This little device allows you to hook up a standard phone to you computer via a USB adapter.  The adapter has a pass through for your regular phone line so you can use the phone for both regular calls and skype calls.</p>
<p>The one issue I had, and I guess It&#8217;s my fault for not looking, is that the device is not compatable with Vista 64bit.  So after plugging it into my Vista 32bit machine I was able to install the drivers and it basically just worked.  There was no complicated setup and the lastest version of Skype seemed to integrate with it perfectly.</p>
<p>I had read that the device would allow you to call your computer at home via skype and basically &#8220;route&#8221; your call out to the phone line.  This was the main reason I bought the device, however, I was unable to see any configuration that appeared to allow you to do that.  I didn&#8217;t open the manual becasuse after discovering the device was non-64bit compatable I basically gave up on the whole routing out calls thing.</p>
<p>So based on it&#8217;s limited functionaliy and the fact that it only cost me $5 I am giving it a &#8220;so-so&#8221; rating.  I may use it again but for now it sits here taking up space.</p>
