NTL and setting up VoIP (UK)

Archived from groups: comp.dcom.voice-over-ip (More info?)

Hello all.

I am thinking of setting up VoIP on my NTL broadband internet connection,
preferably to use without the computer being switched on all the time. I have
just set up a Skype account, but obviously this cannot receive calls from land
lines.

At present my NTL set up is:-
Computer NIC card----------NTL 100 modem-----------NTL wall socket.
The cable between the modem and wall socket has the screw in type connectors.
I was thinking of getting a VoIP adapter, in order to use my existing dect phone
for VoIP, but I am unsure of what else is involved. I have been told that I will
probably need a router, is anyone using VoIP over NTL, and if so, could you give
me a list of parts (and possibly makes of such parts) required to achieve it. I
would consider a VoIP phone instead of the adapter, if this would make things
simpler.
