That depends. How reliable is your current phone system? If you
lose power, do you lose phones? What sort of UPS capability do
you have? If power goes out, does your network connection go
out? Do you have enough bandwidth? How's the latency to your
VOIP gateway?

Not with the SPA941. There are boxes which will do that,
reasonably cheaply ($70-100).
