Ok so here is my setup:

  • Qnap NAS > TS-210
  • Gigabit router/switch with DD-WRT (big-generic)
  • multiple PC's
  • 1 usb-to-phone box > Trust ST-1200 Internet Phone Station (this is pretty old...)
  • 1 phone (cordless landline)

The usb-to-phone box is currently connected to my main workstation, and I have a little program called SkypeMate running. This enabled me to receive and make Skype-to-Skype or Skype-to-Phone calls with my landline phone. (cordless, so I can walk around).

But, since this workstation is not always on, and my router and nas basically are, is there a way to connect my phone to either one of them and be always online on skype? I realize Skype is not open-source, and they don't have 'headless' clients. Is there an alternative way to achieve this?

BTW, I mainly use Skype to call relatives in other countries, as local landline and mobilephone plans are much more expensive when it comes to international calls.

Thanks!

  • The exact model number of your 'USB-to-phone' box may be key in answering your question. Could you edit your question to include it?

Skype does not run on either ARMv5TE (NAS) or MIPS (router), so no. You will need either a ARMv6 or x86 device for it.
