Yes, it's possible - if they're on the same LAN or 2 different LANs
routed, or bridged by a VPN - the key is no NAT between the LANs.
Then you consult each phones/ata manual to work out how to do direct IP
dialling - one some phones you simply dial the IP address as a 12-digit
string - e.g. 192168001002 to dial 192.168.1.2...
You may need to consult the phone/ata manual to allow it to recieve direct
connections too.
Some phones can pre-dial a fixed number/IP when you lift the handset too
(batphone mode) or have built-in speed-dials, etc.
So once the network is working, it boils down to RTFM
(I've done this with Grandstreams, but I'm sure other phones allow it too)
