This sounds like a good idea, but according to this review (http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating/skype/linksys-cit200...) they won't support Linux. Given the rising popularity of Linux for embedded designs, I'm a little perplexed that they aren't supporting it for this.

James,

What a surprise. In Europe several name brand companies sell Skype phones for Linux. I saw a guy at LinuxWorld using one on his laptop in the media lounge.

Hmmmm.
