do you lick down a lot of ports?  :-P

i think these are all Polycom phones with 3.2.6 firmware.

the only other thing a bit odd is they are coming through a Cisco ASA which
is known to work but could be a question mark.  I think they were going to
try to route around this and then in through a pfSense box to see if the
same thing happens.
