If you are using POTs to bring in your fax calls you should be ok for
home use. I do this with a PAP2T-NA, Hylafax, and iaxmodem. I have
iaxmodem accept the fax, then "relay" it to the PAP2T. I use the second
port to drive a Panasonic DECT base station with five satellites, which
I have spread around the house. The Panasonic is the only one I have
found that has the ability to host a ton of satellites without having a
ton of redundant features on the base station (don't really need an
answering machine, for example). Its also the only one where the
handsets have nice 2.5mm headset jacks, which I use all day.
I've never really understood the need for wireless SIP handsets. An ATA
plus a normal DECT set seems perfect to me.
