Teleon Gateway for Skype is a VoIP gateway driver for PCTel PCI modem card that allows calls to be forwarded between PSTN and Skype remote users in fixed transfer or free dial mode.
One downside to the freeware version is that it has a duration limitation of 3 minutes for each call. However, the features offered are extensive:
1) Automatic installation/uninstallation program helps you to install, uninstall and remove driver.
2) Call from Skype to remote PSTN via a chat window in Skype, simply type "atd xx..x" to initiate the Skype call, and the call will be forwarded to PSTN number xx...x.
3) Call from PSTN to Skype: Call to the PSTN phone number where the gateway card is connected. Gateway card will auto-answer the call after a number of rings, send out a prompt tone to inform you dial, dial the Skype remote speed dial number yy and #.
4) Call from PSTN to PSTN: Call to the PSTN phone number where the gateway card is connected. Gateway card will auto-answer the call after a number of rings, send out a prompt tone to inform you dial, dial yy*xx..x#, where yy is Skype remote speed dial number, and xx..x is remote PSTN phone number.
5) Fix transfer mode: Incoming Skype calls can be forwarded to a fixed local PSTN number set by you, e.g. your cellphone number, etc.
6) Easy configuration for call forward authentication, access blocking. Any dialed number starting from 0 or 1 and 911 are prohibited. Forward calls are only allowed to those who are in your contact list, and you can also simply block all forward capabilities if you want.
