I am compiling a list of sip/voip issues I have run into over the years. I am going to get beaten up by some bureaucrats tomorrow morning and I want to have a list to defuse them before the oral part of the proceedings start.
I am going to say that ATA/SIP/VOIP is not suitable for the following: Fax Machines (don’t even get me started on this, tried to do a doctor’s office and pharmacy once....) TDD The teminal that deaf people use. Does anyone know if a TDD will work on a garden variety ATA? I don’t have one I can test with. Dial up modems.... Fire Alarm control panels (the monitoring companies refuse to even hook it up if you tell them it is VOIP). Burglar Alarms .... ditto I wonder about heart monitors that you wear and have the results phoned in. Dial phones. I have never tried to use a pulse dial phone on an ATA/SIP unit. I wonder if it would work. Any others?
