Hardware phone:

Using an ATA(external link) (Analog Telephone Adapter) + a standard phone is the best option since you don't need a computer and you can use any standard phone, cord or cordless.

The models offered by NICnet are:







Linksys PAP2T(external link)

If you already have a router (a.k.a. Residential gateway(external link)) connected to your broadband (and you know how to configure the QoS settings), Linksys PAP2T is the ATA for you.
