So in keeping with the topic, the GS phones work well with the Asterisk
system?  Should I get a GS phone or is there another phone that I should
consider?  Since this is for my home rather than a company, I just want
something that will work with little fuss.  ;)

Hmmm. In my opinion DHCP is mostly a false time saver anyway. It's true
you 
can just plug in a host and have it get an ip nice and easily.

But I prefer to know who's IP is on the wire with a minimum of fuss. I
like
to 
be able to notice that nnn is being involved far too often in that XYZ 
problem, or whatever. Plus it's one less service to maintain. Whenever I
add

a host I spend a little more time with configuring it but that's better
than

chasing leases as far as I'm concerned. Eases LAN maintenance a lot.

True, as an ISP I would use DHCP. It's quite suitable there as I would
have 
more limited resources. But on a LAN it's hard to run out of IP's. It's
kind

of how windows got popular, thanks to the apparent easier way of doing 
things, and how lazy we all seem to be. 

Anyway, this is on th edge of the topic so I'll stop here.
