yes, there are spare rj-45, however: - We don't have POE, - mac-adresses have to be subscribed before for each outlet - just lines of 19" cabinets, no place to leave a hw-phone - they get borrowed ;-) You can take a small usb-phone in your pocket whenever you go there. Have a cli-phone-app on your usb-stick (or pre-installed),and whenever you need to phone: plug both in,open a shell and off you go. (i presume a usb-bluetooth dongle and bluetooth-headset, normally used for mobilephone, won't work..) hw _______________________________________________ -- 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
