Thanks Theo...
I think my brain just had a short circuit... ;-)
I know very little about using the/a network to connect with a phone.
I just assumed... Connect an ATA to the Router, plug in the phone, a bit

Bog standard BT phone, account and line, and I`m thinking of something
simple like `Grandstream HT801".
