Someone once told me that he would never consider using a SIP phone unless it had been through several software releases / revisions. In my experience, this kind of thinking seems to work well. For example, this 480i is relatively new to the market, having only been out less than a year. Bugs are probably still being worked out, features still to be implemented, and with those features, more bugs. I'd recommend the Cisco 7940/7960 series phones. Another phone I've been impressed with so far, although haven't tested extensively is the Polycom Soundpoint IP500. It seems to be a solid phone, with a feature set that gives Cisco a run for its money. _______________________________________________ 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
