I'm not sure whether BT still market it. The base
station is
the Diverse ISDN (8" square box that mounts on the wall), and it works
with any of the Diverse handsets from BT.
When I bought mine it wasn't available in the
UK, but I took advantage of the fact that approvals
for
all EuroISDN equipment are pan-European and bought it from a German dealer.
He's no longer in business but a net search will I'm sure turn up ome
suitable
alternatives. The only downside is that German retailers tend not to take
credit cards so you'll have to take your life in your hands and pay by bank
transfer. My base station is the 2060 which is no longer in production, but
the
4170 or 4175 are much improved versions (not yet available in the
UK.)

I bought a couple of the “Micro” handsets to
replace handsets which my brother destroyed when he was more than a bit
pissed
(!) recently, and they are very impressive – tiny and feature
packed.
One of the nice features (which Phil and James have experienced) is that you can set up one of
the
"wired" devices to be a door entry phone, and open the door from
any
of the handsets.
If you do find a reliable on-line retailer let me know,
as I’ll
get a 4175 for myself before I move.

But do you have two lines with the same number? I do (in fact
I’ve got
three numbers).

I’ve had a Diverse ISDN cordless PBX for over two years now.
Very
versatile – doesn’t need earthing plus a maintenance
contract which
makes multi-line analogue PBXs cheap to buy but expensive to
maintain,
and has loads of features – plus up to eight different MSNs
if
you want
to have separate numbers for the kids etc. If you connect it to
a
business ISDN package you can take advantage of the “call
hold” option.
When you put a call on hold, it is held at the exchange rather than
at
the PBX, so while you can only speak on two lines simultaneously,
you
can actually handle four calls at once.
There is a price though – ISDN is obviously more expensive
than
two
separate analogue lines – but as I’ve mentioned it is
still
cheaper than
running a two line analogue PBX. I’m sure Keith will explain
why
the
requirements are so rigorous.
The BIG advantage is that it will handle 8 cordless extensions
without
ANY CAT5!
Tim.

Every so often people talk about getting a PBX here or on the irc
room.
Was looking around for prices on these &
found
http://www.tmilimited.co.uk/general_telecom.htm
<http://www.tmilimited.co.uk/general_telecom.htm>
If you follow the home link they've some very fancy & expensive
options
but the above page seems to be the cheap end of the market (which
is
where I'm looking.
Just thought it might be useful.
