www.telappliant.com sell a DECT-like handset which works over Wifi and
uses SIP. So in theory it'll work fine with asterisk..etc.

Welll if you get a sipura 2000 you get 2 (independant) FXS's. So they
can be independent.. although as you say the seemless roaming isnt an
option.

Yeah - I have a Cisco 7960 in the computer room and its great. IMHO
all the cool stuff actually comes from asterisk - so even a =A35 corded
phone will do the trick. Although it *is* nice to have that huge
screen with the cisco (with excellent build quality). They also have
things like an XML directory..etc.
