Remind me never to be do whimsy after a port or two.

Apologies if I am misunderstanding you. The Siemens C461 IP is a SIP
phone; the DUALphone 3088 is a Skype phone. Both connect to a router so
do not rely on a computer for their operation. Asking which one to
choose for a Skype phone has only one answer.

As for buying a SIP ATA/DECT phone combination - doesn't the the C461 IP
embody that? Also, isn't the 3088 essentially a Skype ATA?

Brian.
