Does anyone have recommendations for a Skype compatible VOIP Internet Phone adaptor. I don't want to connect via a PC, I want it to be RJ45 direct into the router.

Skype on 3 is a free internet service that gives you free Skype-to-Skype calls and free ‘chats’ (instant messages) from the UK to other people who use Skype in the UK or around the world. You can also make low-cost international calls with Skype ‘Call Phones Abroad’ to people who aren’t using Skype, whether they’re on a mobile phone or a landline. To use Call Phones Abroad you'll need Skype credit, available from www.skype.com. With Skype on 3 you can also see your Skype contacts and update your status.
The main differences between Skype on 3 and Skype on your PC are that Skype on 3 doesn’t support video calling, SkypeIn, Skype SMS (texting), Skype voicemail or SkypeOut to UK landlines and mobiles.

Not sure if it fits the bill, but the Philips combined DECT/Skype phones are pretty good. We have the VOIP841, but they announced a new version late last year, the VOIP855.
The base station plugs into both your router and the phone line, so you get the option to use Skype or the landline.
