It's not a broadcast - it's many many unicasts. Paging was never meant to work with nearly that many phones in a group. I recommend that you either: get an overhead system that's designed for paging (there are sip-capable ones), or identify a much smaller number (<15) phones that are geographically distributed enough and use only those. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users
