Unless you want to be corded while talking through Skype, I would recommend
to find any audio/sound port -> RJ-11 conversion device to attach a
cordless phone and you will be able to mobile freely in your house within
the realm of your cordless phone (don't have to be sitting in-front-of your
computer while talking through Skype). I will be honest with anyone here
that sometimes I had to visit the john while talking through Skype without
any interference.
