RE: Best Way to Distribute BT phone to 12 rooms in house ?

Make sure you have enough CAT5 around - there is a plug in RJ45 connector
that allows a phone to plug into a normal socket.  In Node0 you can patch
them as you wish.  Max on a single line is 4 (REN) if you want them to
ring!
A better method is to use a switched system (PABX) - you can pick up cheap
second hand units.  Typical example is a Revelation (see
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/freshwater/revalat1.htm)
which has 4 lines, 12
extensions when fully equipped.  You should have a master systemphone to
help with programming, but ordinary phones are fine.

Best thing about this is that you can set certain phones to ring, depending
on which incoming line is ringing, have day and night modes (so the
children
don't get woken up!), and transfer calls around the house.

Hi,

Well the topic says it all. Node zero will be on the 1st Floor and was
wondering the best way to get phones into each room. Come to think of it,
how many phones can you hang off one line ?

Should I be looking at another solution - so many question - so much house
to wire !
