That seems to be right in line with Chamber's objective to be a major player in the home market. He's certainly not going approach that objective by selling one/two devices at a time, so it makes sense he'd change the sales/marketing approach to focus/lock-in higher volume customers/resellers regardless of what the rest of us think. That certainly isn't the last shoe to drop in the voip market; wait till the next level(s) of announcements from Cisco. If I were going to bet a couple bucks on this, I'd suggest the spa3000 will disappear alltogether, and a replacement in the form of a linksys box with a faster processor is not far behind. _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
