I'm still looking for an auto-answer speakerphone.

About a year ago I was gung-ho about VoIP and wanted to switch my home to it. Before doing so, I need to replicate the intercom/ paging functionality of my cheapo AT&T system. I asked about VoIP phones that could be configured to automatically pick up select incoming calls in handsfree mode.

didn't get any leads.

Well, back then I'd ordered some Digium doorstops (USB FXS devices that didn't get supported) and I didn't get far. I decided to try again recently and bought an IAXy that often works. Now I want to try again to replace my home system. First I want to figure out which phones to use.

So...are there any updates? Can any Asterisk-compatible VoIP or analog phones be configured to automatically answer some calls (based on caller ID or, ideally, distinctive ring) in handsfree mode?

Thank you.
