Does anyone know if after all this time and software issues if the beocom 5 has been sorted ? 

Has any one managed successfully the dual pstn/voIP using skype ?

I need another bc6000 but if the 5 does both it would be of interest to me.

I created a separate thread for Beocom 5 issues. No-one used it :)

The *only* problem I have at this point is that conference calls on my Beocom 5 are less effective than they once were. I hardly can hear the other caller(s). No idea why this has changed. There's no volume on the speaker, from what I can determine?

Never tried pstn/voip. Don't even know how to get that to work.

However, I WOULD recommend the Beocom 5. It can be a tad flaky at times though. See above, plus it can cut off callers when you walk around on the phone. This is a known and unfixed problem.

The Beocom 5 does not do VOIP/Skype, it simply has 2 normal lines.

You need to connect line 2 to your provider's router, if it has a telephone connection.
