Works great!
Well It's been a couple weeks since I installed this device on my PC and it has run like a champ. I guess they have ironed out the driver bugs since it was released 2 years ago because it took no real effort to install. The manual is pretty useless though. The one hiccup I found while installing the device was getting the driver to connect with Skype. It turns out that you have to change Skype's audio settings before it will connect with the device. Nowhere in the manual is this explained and it resulted in about a half hour of wasted time. In the end that's no big deal but for someone not quite as tech savvy it could cause them to return the unit thinking it doesn't work. Another quirk in the software is that it mutes the wave volume control and turns down the master volume when a call is placed or received. It doesn't reset the volume after the call which requires you to manually reset them. It wouldn't be a big deal if it was just a master volume mute but having to constantly open and reconfigure the audio setting is a little annoying. A volume setting reset feature should be built into the driver. Without those problems this is a 5 star device. placing and receiving calls is as simple as picking up a standard phone and voice quality is comparable if not better than standard telephone calls. This is an excellent alternative to subscribing to landline phone service and will save you loads of money to boot!

Works OK, but hassle to set up...
Was a serious pain to install, but after reading other reviews on Amazon I discovered that you do not want to use the install disc that comes with the device. Instead, go to D-link's web site and download the Vista driver. I believe it is version 1.10 and then use the set-up application in the downloaded file. Also, you have to change the settings under Skype options to make sure you are using your phone as the voip capture and voip playback. After I did that it worked fine although I still have to use the onscreen Skype number pad to dial. Not sure if this is supposed to be the way it works, but all in all it seems to work pretty well right now.

Don't buy...
Could not get this to work. D-link tech support hours are limited if you happen to work for a living and can't take 4 hours off to be on the phone and still not get your problems resolved. There are better adapters out there. I'd avoid this one.

Great Product
If you're looking for a very useful product at a great price, this is it. Very easy to set up and has very good sound quality. Make sure to use the driver for Atcom's AU-600 driver since the D-link driver is not updated and has defects. I recommend to anyone that uses Skype.

Unable to get it to work
Although I am technically very proficient, I have been unable to get this
device to work with a valid driver. Several times it crashed more than one Windows XP machine I tried it on. Checked around the web, no solutions available.
The manufacturer does not have clear instructions or a working driver at their website.
Recommend D-Link remove this product offering or Amazon not have it available for sale until the manufacturer has solved this problem.
