Thanks

How do I get this? Also, could I use this with skype?Yeah it can be done cheaply, if you get a phone SIP firmware. Then you could use Asterisk, or a VoIP service.
If you want to go Cisco, look into going the UC 500 route. Considerably less expensive than doing the CME route.

I was at an exotic foods grocery store awhile ago and noticed that all the checkout lines had cisco 7960g ip phones. I find this strange and kind of a waste. All the local public libraries in my area recently got them aswell. I wonder how they are set up and why they need them. But more importantly why didnt they give one to me?

OMG. Yea in Cinncinnati.
Would I be paying a voip service for this?
Actually yes I have a linksys router at home. While the wireless at times can be unreliable overall Im happy with it. sov the idea that you have sounds like it would work. Could you possibly give me a list of what I would need and what I would do to set this up and get it running?
I have a Cisco IP phone here at home, I just used SIP firmware.
I just though it might be a fun project. And yes it would be great to have the 24 ringtone. But actually I already have the ringtone on my vtech phone. I bought the vtech awhile ago as an alternative to having the cisco phone. Then to my surprise I realized that they were using my same phone on 24.Why? Did you watch an episode of 24 and just decide you had to have that ring tone?
Having an IP Phone at home just doesn't make a lot of sense to me. VoIP is more unreliable than a phone line, the call quality is typically worse, amongst many other issues. Why do you have an IP phone at home? If it's to save money on your phone bill, why would you buy a cisco phone? Not trying to sound like a dick or an asshole, I am just really curious as to the fascination with IP phones for a single user. Did you set up a TFTP server for it, too?

That'd be great if UC500 was actually shipping

So do you get your service from your analog line?I have a Cisco 7971G-GE setup at my home. One analog line. I used an old Dell PC, FXO and FXS card, and I am using TrixBox.
Works great!
I have that ring-tone if anyone wants it lol.Why? Did you watch an episode of 24 and just decide you had to have that ring tone?
The FXO is what is connected to my provider. The FXS is what is connected to the rest of the analog phones in the house, they have an extension of 200 for example. I have a ring group setup to ring my IP phone ext 300 for example and it rings 200 at the same time for incoming calls. If 200 picks up and they want to transfer to me, they hit ## 300 and it rings me.So do you get your service from your analog line?
