I see that posting about asterisk interested many people in the list as I see nobody complained so far. I would like to give my tip from my experience with grandstream ata 488. I bought it from Tikal networks. It came with a very old firmware that caused me a lot of trouble. 1. It would disconnect phonecalls ramdomly. 2. there was no bridge mode between interfaces. 3. very low quality and echo. 4. the caller ID from the PSTN is not forwarded to the sip channel. 5. calling through the FXO did not work as a trunk but I would have to call dial (SIPEXT,timeout,D(pstndest). 6. forced to ring once on the local phone before forwarding call to sip.
Today I upgraded to the latest firmware and now all issues beside the caller id were solved. Shame that it didn't come with the latest firmware, I would have a better taste on my mouth but may be lower learning curve. One more post. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
