Re: Voice Over IP

["UKHA" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

I have 2 snom 100's which work great, and in fact work well with the
Ethernet over power adaptors I got a while ago too...

Cost was about 140 quids each when buying 2 from http://www.provu.co.uk

Provu are also looking at providing voicemail at a nominal cost per month
which would be useful....
