Jared et al, I have had one of these phones for about a week, with only a little time to "play" with it. I wrote a very incomplete review that I hope to finish RSN but here's a few observations: http://voipusersconference.org/review and I do hope to add more meat to it. Michael Graves has posted a bunch of photos on that site as well. My very first evaluation is that this would be a perfect first phone for an Asterisk newbie, replacing for example the Grandstream BT100 which is inferior in many ways but also cheaper than the Allnet. The Allnet can be set to do SIP or IAX2 in the web interface, but the unique feature AFAIK is that it can be set to do both so you can dial a (configurable) *0 for SIP and *1 for IAX. This is great for testing. The phone can register with up to four servers and it can speed dial any number. That means it can speed dial a SIP URI and I haven't figured out if this is doable on either the Polycom ip500 or the Sipura SPA-941 that I own. The voice quality seems very good to me and the phone has a much sturdier feel than most of the competition in this price range. I'm told the US dealer, somewhere in Florida, hasn't answered the call put in a few days ago yet. In the meantime, there is a UK dealer http://www.allnetuk.com/ The dealer I was told to contact by the German wholesaler to buy the phone in France is called Senso Telecom: http://www.senso-telecom.com/content/view/13/28/lang,en/ Here's the wholesaler page with other countries on it: http://212.18.29.54 _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
