Small business voip + wifi

| At work we have 2 separate bt accounts and 2 different numbers. All pcs are
linked by wifi. Only 1 computer utilises skype to talk to other commercial
users of skype, which is on the increase. We would like to keep existing tel
nos for incoming calls only, so utilising the existing Samsung system, but
have separate normal phones (approx 6) all linked into the wi fi system
utilising voip. Many calls are to mobiles, and also uk landlines. I would
like to retain Skype as we have plenty of contacts globally via this but
also have the ability to have a set monthly fee (like vonage etc) to make
unlimited landline calls, and also competitively priced mobile calls. Can we
link 6 phones into a wi fi network and have all this???? Or what is the
closest possibility?
Many thanks,
Robert

This is possible.
I think asterisk could do the trick :D Asterisk is a IP PBX. This, with
2 Linksys SPA 3000's, and 6 wifi VoIP phones will allow you to do what
you wish. Skype will be usable as usual on the machine you use it on,
and will not be able to be used by the wifi phones, i don't believe .
Skype is pathetic, and very uncomputable. Incoming calls will be able to
ring all of the wifi phones, some of them, or you could have a digital
receptionist, call queuing, or whatever else you can think of probably,
asterisk does loads.
Outgoing calls will be able to go out of whereever you wish. You can
configure them to go out of PSTN lines, or any SIP providers you wish.
www.blueface.ie do a business package for £24 for 'unlmited'calls to UK
and ireland.
