There are a couple of things to watch out for on the Mediatrix that aren't well published. - their only support is through their resellers, and most of those seem to be traditional pbx folks that don't have a background involving asterisk - they are highly focused towards 1104 to 1204 compatibility and toll bypass, and have little interest in ensuring rfc compliance or support for non-Mediatrix interfaces - all software upgrades/fixes are "chargable" - silly little things get in the way (eg, better have the same ring cadance on all four pstn lines attached to the 1204, or the 1204 won't answer some lines) - excellent echo can functions, worked like a charm after spending a very large amount of time tweeking poorly documented technical parameters through a PC SNMP (only) management interface.
