Not to ignore the fact that this is the cheapest and installtion free VOIP device that you can use for a real conversation, without bothering about the protocols. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Mahler Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 10:57 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones I agree, this is a fun device. It's a lot easier to use than a headset. The sound quality is excellent. Just don't turn up the volume too much or you will get a lot of echo. Echo is less of a problem with a good usb headset. It's a little quirky. All the sound from your pc gets routed to the phone. You can set x-lite to send ringing elsewhere.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones
Thanks a tons Kerry, I got spa-1001, 2100, 3000, 841 and other stuff... I totally agree with you, but one of my customers still insists on having a handset connected to his laptop as he doesn't want to have additional devices. Any other hints?
