TypeS: Yeah I think I now grasp the principle. You need an ATA adapter (Analog Telephone Adapter) to connect a phone to the router/modem.
So if I understand correctly, something like this should work: »
www.grandstream.com/inde ··· rs/ht701So far, I have 4 bland analog phones connected to the Bell wall sockets. So a no go with using my existing phones: I'll have to buy indeed a base + 4 handsets who's price seems to be around 130$ for the 'kit'. No built-in adapter though, but the ATA adapter I just mentioned can be had for 30$ is seems, which is 50$ less than TSI's Cisco 122. There's also the
Cisco 112 ATA adapter which seems like it could do the same job as the 122 (well allow analog phones to work), for 45$ around.
It's already 85$ for cable activation, 130$ for new phones, so I'm trying to keep costs down as much as possible...
