Thanks folks! Pure play Voip.ms was my first inclination (I cut my own home bill to 1/10 of what it was using them), but I was concerned about the shelter freaking out over the 'what do you mean I can't get the phones from Walmart' syndrome, and doubled back on that thought. Also the cost of SIP devices (whether 802.11 or DECT based) was also a concern, but the yearly savings will heavily offset that investment.
I appreciate helping me see the light... sipX is the right thing to do, but only under the right circumstances. FYI Gabe, the TWBC folks don't hand off SIP lines at all, only analog termination, hence the hesitation.
