Hi:
I'm setting up a branch office, but I don't want to trunk from the
main
office because I don't want to introduce any more latency. Also, the
office will have only a single extension, so I can't justify the
expense
of a second Asterisk server for it.
SIP is a pain when going through firewalls, and I'm worried about the
latency that would come with using an IPsec tunnel between the two
sites, so I'm looking for an IAX2 supporting hard phone, and want to
hear recommendations from people who have had direct experience
with such.
What are the best IAX2 hard phones?
I've got a couple of IAX hardphones, with PA168, they are useable,
but only just. They are hard to hang up (which is a design problem)
and a pain to get transfer working (which is a software problem).
Much as I love IAX, I advise you to buy a decent SIP phone
(SNOM?).
At home I have a SIP phone and an nslu2 running asterisk, just to act
as a
protocol converter, but any old 486 or PII will do the
trick.
