What kind of phone do you want to connect?
Which service are you connecting to?
For wired phones I have a Sipura/Linksys/Cisco PAP2T which can provide two
separate phone lines/numbers via two analogue phone ports. I used this for
several years and it worked fine. As it happens I don`t need it so it`s for
sale for 25 pounds + postage, including the RJ11 to BT socket adapters.
(email address above works)
I think the web interface might work with a RISC OS browser, if you`re
interested I can check. Some of the settings can be done by dialling
numbers on a phone handset.
For DECT cordless I use a Gigaset N300A-IP base station and Gigaset C430H
handsets. This is a direct DECT to IP converter, ie there`s no analogue
signal path, although it can also plug into an analogue socket as well and
you can set a `dialplan` to route calls a particular way (eg to the cheapest
for a particular number). The `A` suffix means it has an answering machine
and works nicely with the Gigaset handsets. It can support up to 6
lines/numbers (and calls can be concurrent).
I use both with Andrews and Arnold. I also used to use the PAP2T with
Sipgate.
