The gifts that keep on giving...
Other than the disease, one of the lingering gifts is VoIP (Voice over IP) service/hardware. Some hardware from SipPhone.com and a few Vonage subscriptions later we are dipping our toe in the VoIP water the Johnston-way (head first).
The SipPhone hardware( Grandstream HandyTone 286 ATA ) is wonderfully small and portable, but the Vonage Service appears to be the benchmark. Several free VoIP providers (such as SipPhone and Free World Dialup allow straight forward communications between subscribers, but Vonage basically gives you a second phone line.
So, I've wired up my second phone line (in home wiring) for my Vonage service (of course I can plug in the SIP phone too).
Of course, now I need a good 2-line cordless phone!
