Re: VoIP handset replaces PC

["Tim Hawes" <timsyahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it can do *some* of what you want. I'll scan-in the piece from
the Networking mag and send it off-list if interested. It does talk
about a 200-entry phone book which is updated over WLAN instead of a
sync cable etc. It does do caller ID, but doesn't say if there's
multi-line support.

The manual may have all that info though. (follow the previous Siemens
link :-)  )

HTH,

Tim.
