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?
