Only possible to do this using an ATA but this allows you to use your
current phone - cheapest offering with POTS override is something like a
Grandstream Handytone at around 40 squid. Not a very well designed bit of
kit but just about does the job. Alternatively, I can recommend Fritz!Box
products from somewhere like [url]www.broadbandstuff.co.uk[/url]. Lot more user
friendly and gives you the ability to have up to 10 SIP accounts with
routing. Also handles caller ID OK which can be an issue.

There are others as well which I am sure other people in the group can
advise on - like the LinkSys SPA3102. Voicehost do this, but you will find
Broadbandstuff to be cheaper (sorry Ross!)
