A home phone line powered by Skype and ready for prime time

Since Google hasn't bothered to resurrect Gizmo5 in any real way (no, calling from gmail isn't the same), does anyone know of a real competitor? I would like to replace my Vonage line with something much cheaper, seeing as how we use it about 60 minutes per month. And it needs to be a "real" home line -- that is, plug voice adapter into wall, plug home phone into wall, voila.

Google voice forwarded to a sipgate account works wonderfully well for me.<p>Skype is getting more expensive everyday. And now with added connection fee badness.

ummmmm... wtf? This sounds a lot like a setup of google voice. I create a GV account for my "home" phone which is forwarded to my cell phones. If only I had sprint cell service in my apartment. Works literally everywhere but there.
