We have a Synology NAS

Me too, another brilliant piece of kit.  Mine has sat in my home office since 2013, quietly doing its thing.   One disk replacement needed (which it rebuilds automatically if you have RAID enabled), magic.  If only all consumer electronics were like these two products!

@toodles 

There´s obviously a pattern here with VM being the last provider most of us had! 

Appalling when anyone just walks off without explaining anything. We used to have two locations to plug the VM hub, but one of the outcomes of our last VM visit was to unplug the second unused one. I managed to get the technician to leave the possibility of connecting it via the external box, but that was all. 

In trying to have SIP working as a landline, I was tempted by the capabilities of a Fritz!box like the one @jamespa has.

In the end, simplicity won it. 😀 

The Panasonic dect phones are still usable, so I am just getting a Linksys Sipura spa-3000 VoIP Adapter. The plan is to use it to terminate the localphone "landline" SIP (which costs under a pound a month to maintain) and then just plug the panasonic basestation...

I am hoping it will be relatively straightforward to configure, but it seems to have a few other features to play with...
