    I'm looking at going with blueface and dumping the land line. Blueface have a Netgear WGR613V router which your analogue phones plugs into. Problem is, I have 3 or 4 phones in the house. Can I connect the phone line to the router so it will power all my phones?

    Depends on many factors, such as the REN value of the phones & how good the Netgear is. Might work OK. Might have ringer problems. Basic calls should be OK, as you only answer one phone out of the 3 or 4 that rang.
    Usually, if the phones are electronic types the REN value is lower than the old Eircom bell ringer type. YMMV

    You could also consider getting a Dect basestation, most can run up to 5 phones & it only "looks" like there is one phone connected to the router. However, if you have the phones & wiring already, guess this is an expensive way to make sure the Netgear works OK
