Aastra will have a production PT480i SIP phone in March for ~US180-$200. Same phone as ADSI model just SIP, but has 4 extra buttons for virtual lines. Got a beta SIP model under test. Designed for SIP v1 & v2. * is one of PBX used for testing by development, so should be * friendly when released.

I've been pretty satisfied with the Aastra PT480.

There are some other people that say they don't like them, but I think
the $110-$120 ea. Works great for our office and the people I install
for.

Take it for what you paid for it.

Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] ADSI phone vs. IP phone


Why wouldn't you just use your existing Ethernet infrastructure

putting


the  IP phones inline between the wall jack and the PC? There are a
number of IP phones that have builtin switch/hub that allows the PC

to


daisy chain off the IP phone.

To quote myself:



True, but I don't have to retool my office and install POE switches

to


use ADSI phones, either. No, I will not put a hub/switch at every

desk


and then use wall-warts for every phone to get around retooling the
office.  :-)

I'm not going to bastardize my network by placing the equivalent of a

3-


port
switch or hub at every desk to have the phone system compete with our
heavy
network users (CAD mostly), and I will fight tooth and nail against

having


to put a goddamned wall-wart at every station just to power the damned

IP


phones. :-)

Andrew
