Well, technically we have several SIP phones at home (and there's only 2 of us), but they're all Siemens Gigaset devices, and the base stations are all on the UPS, along with the PBX, ADSL modem/router, switch, server... The newer ones can have multiple handsets, each with their own SIP account connected to the same basestation (with a limitation of 2 concurent calls per base-station, and up to 6 handsets per base) Wire free house - well the living area. The office is a different matter!
