I've got an auction on eBay that may be of interest:

The base stations have answering machines (they are from
the BT / Siemens Diverse 3016). I've got more of these available, I
think the bidding has probably gone as far as it is going to.

Yes, there are WiFi VoIP SIP phones available from Zyxel, Senao, Cisco and
others. Unfortunately they are rather expensive
and apparently don't work too well, except maybe the Cisco one, but that is
VERY expensive.

I gather there is one available for Skype too, check out their website for
links.

Skype uses proprietary P2P protocol, so SIP phones will NOT work with Skype.
AFAIK Cisco can use SIP or MGCP, so it should work with all VoIP's, except
Skype.
