* supports different ringtones for example if a voip call comes in you
could
use ring tone 1, if a normal call use ring tone 2. Your DECT phones must
support different ring tones though. I know mine do, but they are not
hooked
up to * at the moment.

Yes, * supports 'time of day' so for example if a call comes in after 23:30
it
can get routed directly to the answer machine. You can effectively define
when daytime starts and stops.

Route the call to the comfort line..(or better) plug comforts line into an
fxs
port. (hardware required)

apps
>(probably via ACE or HV Desktop)

* supports AGI and EAGI (enhanced AGI) which allows scripting via perl, c
etc... I know of one person who interfaces with his misterhouse setup...

Yes, all of the above
