If we're troubleshooting or experimenting with changes this is annoying. The Polycoms pull down a lot of data when they boot, and we've not figure out a way to prevent that. We have a lot of customers on WiMAX connections where the voice runs on a separate VLAN for quality guarantee, but it has very limited bandwidth because only voice should be on it. If a customer with Polycoms and this connection reboots a phone, it floods the voice VLAN. We've all found that we prefer to use the SPA's web UI a lot more than the Polycom. And the SPA has a very nice and easy to use encrypted configuration system that is preferable for a hosted service provider like us where the configs travel the wild internet. How do you like the Yealink phones? Is the cheap price worth it? We looked at them a long time ago but there were some issues that prevented us using them (centered around secure config over the internet). -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003
