When they work, they're pretty good. (and have a fe wmore features than a 330).
I think I'm also the only person that thinks Polycom and Aastra phones are just plain ugly. > The GXP has some neat features, but the quality of construction and > sound quality on the Polycoms is just so far ahead of the Grandstreams > that it's not even in the same ballpark.

And admittedly provisioning can be a pain needing to encode the configuration plan, and being capable of handling multiple config files. (even with the old atcoms you could have a global config file with default settings and a separate per-unit one). I've not tried it, but the unencrypted GXP2000 config files look like a small header and some URL-style form data at the end. You may be able to make global changes as simply as: sed -e -i 's/P625=0/P625=1' cfg* Would presumably reconfigure all the phones to auto-answer on line 4. (finding the keys is as simple as looking at the souce on one of the web pages). _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-biz mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
