We've got a Siemens C475IP with 3 handsets, connected via a Sipgate
account. The base unit just plugs into the phone line and the router,
and has a web interface for all the settings. It's a bit quirky, and
the buttons on the handsets are rubbish, but the idea is good: it does
all the VoIP stuff even without needing a computer to be running.
