Small world. The Inn was going to work on absorbing the cost of the system and the VoIP service. The phones would be just cheapie grandstream phones, which work out to about the same as regular analog phones. More features, no cost, the owners are thinking they can lever this edge to attract more business customers and such.
I have a serious problem with more hardware in each room. More things to get stolen, broken, etc. Plus have the costs of the adapter, plus the cost of the phone, and you are right back to a Budgetone price. More cables, more things to play with. Plus you need to provide an outlet, whereas I could do PoE and eliminate yet another source of problems. I would like a phone, and a cat5 cable. That's it. You want internet access, use wireless or the cable. You can't depend on the customer to do the right thing. Ever. In fact, count on them doing the wrong thing. All the time :-) On a sidenote, I would like to know how using a port based PVLAN setup and DHCP won't provide adequate isolation between rooms. Am I unclear on something? ~kurth _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation sponsored by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
