Look at the Panasonic TDA50g or larger system. Supports VOIP phones and sip trunks. Best cordless system in the business. (IMHO) Does all you spec. And Panasonic has the only cordless phones that receive All Page and Voice Announce Intercom.
Forget about DSX for home w/ cordless. I like the system and sell them but the cordless phones have NO access to a call log. This is really DUMB. Your out at the pool and the phone rings. You miss the call and you can't see who called without going inside to a hard keyset. We have removed 2 from houses that were sold by a security company for this reason. Tech support says there is no plans to address this. There is also no access to any kind of Directory, extension or speed dial from the cordless.
So, basically, you have a high dollar cordless with no features.
The DSX does have a better privacy release feature, it's a no brainer.

Thanks KLD and brokeda. I looked at IPtomy but it was another brand where pricing information is unavailable publicly. I know what they're trying to do for their reseller network but in this day and age it just drives me crazy.

KT-TD50G seems nice and quite close to the DSX-40. Thanks for the specific feedback on their cordless, you're right, I'd be pissed off to pay $200+ for a cordless phone with no call log! We do have a pool so I can relate to your use case

Now I need to sort out whether I like more the products from brands that come from the VOIP world (a la Jazinga) or hybrid systems such as those discussed in this thread (with roots in the key phone system world if I'm getting the genealogy right). Seems they're merging in terms of feature set, but the devil is in the details.
