Hi Kelvin,
Firstly, I'd like to point out that Skype is *evil*, use open protocols
instead :)
With a Skype handsets it seems you have two options. Either:
* A handset, which is really a USB sound device with buttons. USB sound
cards are pretty well supported; so *most* should work. The only thing
that may not work 'out-of-the-box' are any buttons on the phone. This
would be a USB-HID (Human Interaction Device) - such as a 'joypad'.
These buttons can be mapped manually tho. Both parts are 'pretty' well
supported. But googling 'linux skype phone' resulted in:

* A hardware skype client, this is a handset that doesn't require a
computer to be switched on. It looks like a normal residential handset
and can make and receive skype calls with other skype'rs using the
software client. This, IMO, is a cleaner solution - one example

However, if you go for (more) open protocols then the price often drops
significantly and the choice increases.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Dave Walker
