Is there any way of using VoIP without computer – eg through a router’s ethernet port?

I’d like to use a VoIP service, but would prefer not to have to leave the computer on all day.
Is there any way I can avoid using a PC to make and receive calls – are there any adaptors that can be plugged straight into an ethernet router?

Thanks in advance.
