A more just-make-it-work approach would be to buy a Sipura SPA-3000. Plug regular phones into it (use your current wiring), plug it into your POTS line, plug it into ethernet, do some configuring (not trivial, use tools at Voxilla), and you can have it route calls based on number dialed, to one (or more VoIP) providers, or out the POTS line. Quite cool, not too expensive. -kb
