Voip Phones solution?

[n3il123]

Hi

My dad and I co-run a small business, however we live in different areas. What we want is to be able to have one phone number for client calls (all external) etc, which will ring in either or both houses and be able to "opt out" or "Busy" one or both of the phones and then if there is no answer from them both (or both opted out) to divert to a voice mail.

As we both have boradband I am guessing that some form of Voip is going to be the way to go, I am sure that something like this is possible and probably available straight off the shelf but I can't find it

I currently use skype to talk to some other collegues but I am not terribly impressed, I have also looked at vonage but haven't seen anything that looks like it can do what we want, but then I am probably missing something!

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the advice peeps I will PM people that have recommended or have services.

On the asterix/ trixbox solutons how does it deal with people being in seperate locations networks etc? do you program it through the phone? and would I need a static IP on one or all of the broadband connections?

www.voipphone.com just looks like a search page... am I missing something?

Thanks again

I think the thing that worries me most is doing the whole thing over two different physical sites... how do you do it? is it done through configuring the phone? or is there something in asterix (etc) that does it?
