No, I hadn't.  These features didn't exist when I first looked into
Asterisk and started messing with it (about 2 years ago or so).  That's
one of the reasons I thought I'd ask here.  I figured someone might have
a viable suggestion.  Right now we've just configured to speaker phones
and call one from the other and mute the listener.  It's working much
better than the monitor (no static, YAY!).

I'd be interested in any pointer you could provide on the above
configuration.

We did try the Radio Shack FM solution and it was marginally better than
the existing baby monitor.
