Here’s a neat solution for £158 + VAT:
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DEBT901.html
It’s designed to connect between an incoming PSTN line and the house phones – or OBi110 in your case.
Caller presses the button sends ringing towards your OBi Line Port. OBi rings Phone Port / sip phones / softphones etc. You answer, talk to caller. If you want to release the door lock simply dial “1”. Looks like it will work from any phone in your house.
The manual is not well written, but seems quite straightforward. Your wiring will be much simpler than the diagram, as you don’t seem to be involving a PSTN line.
We like a good story on this forum, so please let us know which way you solve the door entry problem. Of course, a story with a happy ending would be nice… :)

Hi IanObi,
That is a brilliant solution - well done for tracking that down!
Ironically I've used the company over the last 8 months for lots of electrical wiring/light fittings/sockets/cat5e etc for our house renovations - should have paid more attention to all the sales catalogues they keep sending in the post! :)
I'm going to give the manufacturers a call to see if they can add a keypad to the panel (looks like they can) then get one ordered - in my case I won't need anything connected to the PHONE port since all calls will be SIP.
My only concern is the recommended limit of 50m between the control box and entry device - my run is probably about 80m - guess there must be some margin for overun.
Cheers
Ian

Also I'd need to work out how people initially contact us to let us know they are there waiting!
100' of 2-wire, a battery, a door bell and a door bell buzzer.
or
A wireless doorbell may be good enough.
Do you really need to talk with the people? I would think if they cared enough to "ring your bell" you would want to at least:
a) Go down and say "hi"
b) Tell the 60 Minutes film crew that you have 'no comment'
c) Go down and look surprised when the Publishers Clearinghouse van is parked there with a big check
(if not in the U.S., ignore #2 and #3 as they may not make any sense)
Shale:
d) listen to a presentation for new siding and gutters
e) get a presentation on alternate utility suppliers
f) take a "survey" where question 3 is "do you have a cemetery plot?"
g) a pair of missionaries to convert you
h) politicians going door to door before the upcoming election
g) etc
