Jonathan, Thanks. That definitely looks like it will do what I need. Not quite as elegant as I had hoped but workable. I am going to look at prices for these units to see how much they are going for used on eBay. I am still interested in the Pi solution as well though as it provides more flexibility and could make for a slicker interface/solution (i.e. terminal client with a phone book) as it would run a full Linux system. I have to see what I can cobble together! -Ali
