Notable issues for users tend to be the lack of any sort of consultative transfer or easy access to conference calling. Also its 'call waiting' facility is a rather annoying and loud normal ringing noise, rather than the usual 'beep beep' that people are probably used to and you can't disable the call waiting feature. Entering numbers also has problems as if you dial too quickly you tend to lose digits, even if you heard the tones and saw them appear on the display. We just bought a Snom200 which is a lot more expensive, but you do get what you pay for. It has a better display which copes with caller name as well as caller number, has consultative transfer, conference calling, no problems with losing digits when dialling and a normal 'call waiting' beep. It also has a host of other features, but we haven't used it long enough to find any problems as yet. I don't know what the Snom105 is like, but if it is anywhere near as good as the Snom200 it may be a good alternative to the BT101/2. Can him be used behind a nat system etc ? Both the Snom200 and BT101/2 have settings for use behind NAT. Michael ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Michael, I've put in a patch to fix call waiting for SIP phones, which is now part of the CVS. For each UA in sip.conf, insert the line incominglimit=1 Also, ensure that you have a usename=blah. This will stop the call waiting for the Grandstream phones. HTH. Paul ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
