Hi Jeffrey, is that remote IP phone a softphone running under OS/2-eCS by any chance? I've been looking for one of those for some time!

No it's a Linksys (ex-Sipura) SPA-3102.  But I'm looking around
for an OS/2 soft phone.  I think I have a note here that there is a
Java-based SIP phone.  I'll make a note and send you details when it comes to the top of the pile

How do those phone schemes compare to this?  The idea here is, buy a box, plug it into WEB access, plug in a phone, and get standard phone service - caller ID, voice mail,,,- to anywhere in the US from anywhere in the world where you can get WEB access.

Jeffrey is referring to an ATA (Analogue Telephone Adapter), which does exactly what you say - on connection to your WAN router and then plug in one (or two  with both the SPA3102 that Jeffrey has or the SPA2100 that I have). This gives free calls to anyone who is on the same VSP (VOIP Service Provider), or two those with agreements between them. You get cheap calls to any normal phone (land line or mobile) anywhere in the world (not just in the US) and yes you can be connecting in from anywhere in the world - as long as you can get a reasonable broadband speed connection, ideally with QoS (Quality of Service) that gives the voice traffic priority over other data traffic. yes all the usual (and in some cases some extra) services - caller-ID, voicemail etc are provided - normally in my experience at no extra cost. My supplier here in Australia, even lets you use the system from a normal phone not Internet connected by calling into a local phone number and connecting into the system from there.
