For a few days now I've been using grandcentral local phone number with the gizmo project, in which on my VOIP adapter I'm able to use a regular phone to get free incoming phone calls. The problem is that I'd like to setup a regular old phone line at a family members house so I can call them free.

From reading over at the gizmo project it seems they only allow SIP to SIP phone calls if you use a computer and their software. It looks like FWD allows free SIP to SIP with the phone adapter.

Therefore aren't I better off switching to FWD and using IPKall. Therefore I would forward grandcentral's phone number to IPKalls, and then IPKall would connect to my VOIP adapter.

From reading from FWD it seems as if I can go from adapater to adapter without being on the computer.

Any feedback is appreciated.

I think SIPphone/Gizmo still allows free SIP to SIP with adapters (as do a LOT of different VoIP providers). However, I think you have to use their silly softphone to create the account in the first place (as they disabled the web based signup some time ago).

Would it work? Probably. Better? Who knows?

Yep.

But that's true of a lot of VoIP providers out there as well. In fact, both SIPphone/Gizmo and FWD both "peer" with SIPBroker - Login (as do a lot of other VoIP providers). So you can even dial between SIPphone/Gizmo and FWD (indirectly via "SIP Broker") if you set your adapters "dial plan" up correctly.
