Fair enough concerns, Andrew, but... 1) This particular device doesn't have SIP on any of its' menus. Is there a firmware upgrade that will get it there? MGCP and MEGACO seem to be the only choices I have.
2) I'm trying to preserve existing investment; we're a non-profit, and can't afford to go tossing money around. I'd love to dump the silly thing in the trash and get something from someone who's more open-source friendly, but that's not in my playbook at this point. Anyone know of a *cheap* interface for four POTS lines, doesn't use a slot on the servers--our systems are very thin rackmounts--that does support SIP and is ideologically sound? --David -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andrew Joakimsen Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 2:14 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] AudioCodes MP-104 MGCP? 1) dont use MGCP -- SIP is better supported 2) Don't use Audiocodes, they blatantly ignore the GPL license.
