What an excellent piece of kit, but what a crazy price!  A DECT
telephone set-up with built-in answering machine and four handsets can
cost £40 these days, and ADSL2 routers are as cheap as chips.  If this
thing came with two handsets and chargers, could be wall-mounted, was a
sensible colour and cost £90, I'd recommend them to everyone I know!
