The Sipura 841 will support PoE. These are not shipping from Sipura until the end of November, ready for early December. The Zultys Zip2 does not support PoE.

Well, that's good to know. At $40 bucks a pop, the total price with the phone is still cheaper than the competition for the 500, but that makes the 300 rather unattractive in comparison to some other phones. Anybody have any suggestions for a good, simple 2 line SIP phone that supports PoE? Has anybody seen the Sipura SPA-841 yet? Will it support PoE? Does the Zultys Zip2 support PoE? _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
