Hi all, I want to use my * box to control entry to a building. I was wondering who else has done this and what phones they might recommend. The phone itself needs to be externally mounted so will have to be durable. Functionally I would like it to just dial and extension when picked up. Any comments on your experiences would be very much appriciated. Best regards Matt
Matt, After much searching, I could not find any "Ruggedised IP Phone"'s out of the box... I am now looking at using a "Stunning Art Deco" (:-) Dorfone (GBP300) from www.spicecommunications.co.uk/shop/Door_Entry_Systems.htm This range of speaker entry-phones, sit between your BT line and handsets; when the buzzer is pushed the handsets ring. I am guessing that this can be connected to a FXO module on my TDM400P. My other option, was to cannibalise a broken Cisco 7940, putting the innards into a cheap entry phone e.g. stock number 227-7892 from www.rswww.com for GBP50 Connecting up the mic, speaker and one of the speed-dial buttons! Though, I guess, if this worked, it might make a neat niche product....

I was interested in the SlimLine Version beneath the Dorphone on the URL you mention. I'm looking for a solution for a large house, the gate is about 25 meters from the main house. I was hoping to set the system up so that an extension could be dialled when someone picks up the phone; that extension rings in the main house and also in surrounding outbuildings.
