We still have a few of the 3com phones in use at our company but we do not support them with our
SIP products. The 3com phone was meant to be a PBX feature phone as you stated and as a result
the flash ROM and RAM was not beefy enough to support the SIP protocol as it matured. The last
ROM update we got before they pulled the plug was still an old pre 3261 bis standard which has problems
with voicemail and other centrex like features. The sad part is that the phone HW had a good speakerphone
and booted faster than any other phone that we have tested (about 2 seconds).

3com made a phone that supported SIP but was discontinued.  From what I have
heard, the hardware was exactly the same, just a different BIOS.  I would
like to try or hear of someone trying to flash an NBX phone into a SIP
phone.

Here is a link to one that sold on Ebay.

We use an NBX here in my office and the business phones are great.

No worry though, 3com's new product VCX7000 (

 )
line is basically going to be an Asterisk system (plus a large fortune) and
will even run Linux (NBX runs VxWorks)  Work off of SIP and the phones
should be one step up from the current ones.  I am sure they will attempt to
make everything proprietary but going the direction of SIP is a very good
sign.

Thanks,

Has there been any luck getting the 3Com NBX series phones to work with
Asterisk?

Thanks!
