Aren't these Linksys phones completely standalone once you've configured
them from a web browser on any machine?  You could set the pair of them up
on your network then ship the other to Ireland in a known working state. 
Hell, if the firewall at the other end would accept incoming http
connections, you could remote admister it from Malvern.

Yes but aren't you only planning to use it to talk to family?  Why the need
for compatibility?  Skype is also very good from a counter-intercept pov by
the way.

So it just uses RTSP, SIP isn't used for call setup?

Have a great time over the holidays!
