Don't buy USB adaptor, nor ATA, buy Siemens S475 IP phone instead,

Not cheap, but by far the best solution.

You mentioned that you are not bothered about incoming calls so, what
I assume from that is that you are happy to continue to receive calls
on your standard landline.
If that is so I would go for the Linksys SPA-3102.
The reason for this is that you can integrate your voip and landline
calls.
Remember, if you go down the ATA route you don't need to have a
computer switched on. It is not like toytown voip where you have to
sit at your computer. Connect your ATA to a set of cordless phones and
you can call out at will - no computer whirring away and costing you
£5/month to run.
However, if you reconsider taking incoming calls via voip then the
advantages this affords includes :-
Customisable voicemail - none of this BT 1571 rubbish
Call waiting
Caller display
PLUS
With your SPA-3102, distinctive ringing.
Call forwarding via voxalot.
Please note that the router part of the 3102 is, afaik, only really
useful on a cable connection and that any ATA is best connected to a
router with Quality of Service as an inbuilt feature (though this is
not essential).
My advice would be, initially at least, to continue taking calls on
your standard landline and then consider later if you want to receive
calls via voip as an alternative.
