[SLUG] OT: WLAN VoIP phone
Hi all, I came across this http://nuke.ip-ware.net/Portals/0/Brochures/ip_phone_WS-C.pdf nice phone while I was searching for a new solution to my internet/phone setup. I decided to hook myself up with iinet and a naked DSL package. By now we still have one of those old yellowish telstra phones, nothing fancy but it works. My question now is do I buy a VoIP router and hook my old phone on or is there another option? I thought about a hand set which connects to my existing WLAN. Is there something out there like that? Is it affordable? I think the link above is the right direction but I am not sure. What will happen to my WPA2 encryption?

I think the link Sebastian above is the right direction but I am not sure. You'll need a VOIp provider if you want to call out ... when you choose one, check its website. Many have really cheap deals on locked-in VOIP routers (mynetfone has a $1 deal for instance). Also, check out your mobile phone ... many of the high end phones from Nokia and Blackberry (don't now about others) have wifi and voip capabilities ... so you can call from your existing mobile. And don;t worry about WPA ... the wifi handsets mostly can cope with that (just check the specs before you buy).

I thought about a hand set which connects to my existing WLAN. Is there something out there like that? Is it affordable? I think the link above is the right direction but I am not sure. Everything I've heard about the wireless handsets has been pretty negative. Poor battery life, poor quality, poor performance. Getting a VOIP router or just an ATA to plug into your existing hardware still seems the most reliable solution. Get yourself an ordinary cordless phone handset and plug it into your ATA. Ideally your cordless phone should be outside the 802.11a/b/g/n frequency ranges (DECT is good for this). I have this setup with the Billion 7404VGP-M which has two phone ports. I'm still paying the Telstra Tax (waiting for my ISP to offer naked) so incoming calls work just fine, and it automagically switches to VOIP for outbound calls. -- Rev Simon Rumble [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Because nerds travel too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ When did I realize I was God?
