you could either get a SIP hard-phone or get an adapter .. i use an spa3102 .. but it also allows interfacing to a land-line as well .. if you just want the "phone" interface, then you can get a standard pap2-na device .. as long as it's not locked to a provider.  Les may have some in stock you could buy, or you can buy them on-line -- like I did ... (I did unlock a locked one prior, but it's better to get one that is not locked or restricted in case you reset the firmwares etc).

with a pap2-na device, you can then use a wireless home phone etc ...

Thanks for the info guys.
I just had a talk with Les and it sounds like a good deal.

Are there good hardware SIP phones in the city that people would recommend?
