    I am looking to setup VOIP. I was looking at goldfish. The installation will be 2 numbers in 2 buildings about 200m apart. The two buildings are on the same network. Could anyone advise what hardware I would need? If I used the goldfish hardware I believe I would need a base station and DECT phone in each building. This would cost about 180eur. Can anyone recommend alternative hardware? e.g IP that can be plugged into network directly that would work with Goldfish. I would need cordless handsets in each building.
    Thanks for any help.

    You could use 2 ATA's and ordinary dect phones. ATA's are about £20 on ebay.

    You would need 2 base stations as the signal from one base station will not be strong enough to use in the other building (two phones to one base station will not work in your case).

    I'd recommend Gigaset IP phones over a cordless and ATA to be honest (too messy and won't be as good quality).
