Hello,

I am newbie who would like to understand the reasons for using hardware
equipment (voip adapters) as opposed to software voip phone applications
when calling from Canada landlines located in Europe.

As of now, I am using Voipdiscount to call European landline numbers, from
Canada.

Is there an advantage in using a voip adapter when I only need to call and
not to be called on a voip number?

If it turns out that there is an advantage, I think of buying a SPA3102
(seems to me to be the latest and greatest from Linksys but I not really
certain).

I think that even if I use Voipdiscount through the hardware voip adapter,
the rates will be the same.

So, I wonder why should I buy a voip adapter? Just for the sake of using a
regular phone headset?

I apologize for my ignorance and I appreciate any advice you would provide.

Thank you for your time.

Greg
