I don't know why people keep making the statement about range with wifi versus a cordless phone. I can easily get a good wifi signal when I'm over at my neighbors but can't get reception with our cordless (2.4GHz) phone. (Both receivers are at home...) It seems to me that the wifi range is at least as good as the phone range if not better.
Thanks for the tip on the SIP phones. On Wed, 2005-01-12 at 18:53 -1000, James H.
