Not that I have a solution but I am just curious how you plan to use Gizmo here:
1. As client to receive calls to GV #.
2. As client to call out from your GV #.
3. As client to call out from Gizmo.
3. Just as a dumb termination for your GV #.

In my case I attached an ATA for Gizmo/GV with a phone connected, so I can call out and receive calls on the phone, rather than on PC, but if you need chat, then you do need a PC...

I was interested in calling out from the computer without forwarding to the phone, a freebee skype.

Yes. Free and open telephone service using GV and Gizmo. This is what I am doing now. Gizmo client on the computer or ATA adapter connected to router configured as Gizmo with a phone attached, if you prefer a solid phone device instead of computer... In either case it is free in and out. This enables to throw out the traditional phone service...
