Build Your Own Chat-Cord

Mr. Blond writes "Here is a description of how to build your own chat-cord for only 7 euro. This is a solder free version of the hack shown in this earlier Slashdot article. Now you can use any plain old phone to make calls over the internet, using Skype MSN-audio or any other VoIP software. Even the software from chatcord works fine with it, to make and accept calls using the buttons of your phone."

Depends on the call

personally, I don't really need it. I like to have my hands free when talking, so I'll stick to my good ol' headset. ;)

Depends on the nature of the call -- in some cases, I only need one free hand ....

I know a much cheaper way to make your own chatcord. It involves two cans and some string..

Whoa buddy. Calm down there. Nice, big, easy breaths. Think happy, slow, thoughts. Now give me the mountain dew. Yes, all of it. I'll let you have it back when you're done with the soldering iron.
