Re: [Asterisk-Users] Pingtel Phones?
Andy, Thanks for the feedback! I ended up buying one phone on Ebay for $202.50, which seems like a good price. It would be used in a very small office under light load. Perhaps I can get it nto work suffient for my needs. Otherwise, back to Ebay to sell the beast ;-) Michael On Mon, 16 Feb 2004 10:42:22 -0600, Andy Hester wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, Does anyone here have any experience with pingtel Xpressa hard phones?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Pingtel Phones?
I have 3 Pingtel phones and have tested them since they were prototypes. I have had no lockups or weird problems with them on Asterisk. I will says this about them though: These phones are BIG on features and extensibility through Java at the cost of quality. It doesn't take a lot of work to find that the handsets are noisy and that non-typical use can easily hose up he phone. Also, these phones appear to leak resources which cause them to need a reboot after being up for several weeks. The Cisco 7960 or similar phones are the most solid SIP phones that I have worked with. I plan on selling 2 of my Pingtel's and getting a couple of the Ciscos. Andy Hester wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello All, Does anyone here have any experience with pingtel Xpressa hard phones?

[Asterisk-Users] pingtel phones
Hello all, Hope I am not too of topic here - but it cross's the phone/asterisk boundary. I have been playing with a few soft phones - noticed that pingtel seemed to be highly recommended across previous postings. I have been using xten - which is a great phone but seems a bit limited in its functionality - which is why I am now looking at pingtel. Problem is I cannot get it to register properly against asterisk - I am know at a bit of a loss - can someone point me/let me have a simple howto to get asterisk working with pingtel softphone. BTW they work in an unregistered mode - but obviously need the registering part so asterisk can place a call back to the softphone.
