The best part is you can configure paging zones, downstairs, upstairs etc. ...or if you really want to get cool - how about a front doorbell speakerphone that you can answer anywhere in the world http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk phone door Hope this helps. If you aren't familiar with asterisk you can check out my configuration at www.cognation.net/asterisk and.... if you run a customer facing website and want the very best of real time communications check out www.cognation.net/mexuar Cheers, Dean Hi Ethan,
