Thanks for the feedback on the 560's. Polycom's are very well built phones. I am surprised they don't offer a phone in the 3 series form factor that has gigabit. People must not be asking for it because the only folks that seem to offer it are Polycom and Cisco (not the Linksys rebrand). -Matt -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- 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
