A suggestion:
Re-do this tutorial to reflect the new interface of Skype (version 4.0). If someone were to download Skype TODAY, the layout is different to what is seen in your video. For those who aren’t familiar with Skype, it may be a little frustrating to pinpoint various features right away.

You'll need what's called a voice modem (not a VoIP modem). US Robotics used to make a good one – they may still make it. Or you can buy cards that plug into your computer that act as interfaces between the phone line and the computer. And you'll need software which is pretty expensive – you want PBX software to run a PBX on your computer. You have to match the software to the hardware, so your best bet is to buy both from the same company.
Great!

Is there an RJ 2 connection? I am only familiar with RJ11 (phone lines) and RJ45 (LAN lines)
Here is a link to a bunch of different telephony applications that should work just as well over a local network as the internet. Hopefully you can find something useful.
