3Com is one of the few that lie about it. Many Cisco phones support
SIP, but not all of them. I think Nortel also lies about SIP on some of
their phones.

Drat, because the 3Com phones looked pretty good for the price. :) Is
there somewhere that has a compatibility list for Asterisk with all the
phones that are known to work/not work with Asterisk; since apparently
VoIP phone companies incorrectly state that they support the SIP
protocol (I don't consider, "we support SIP as long as it only talks to
our server because we tweaked it just a bit" to be "supported").
I am looking for a good 60 phones. We are upgrading our entire phone
system (and *old* NEC PBX). We don't need anything fancy on most of the
phones, just the "usual" mid-size business features. Speakerphone, Hold,
Park, Transfer, Voicemail; and we need at least 2 attendant stations
that can see all in-use phone lines. We are trying to keep the costs
(relatively) down, hence using Asterisk instead of a full commercial
solution. It is very disconcerting to know the providers are
essentially lying about what their phones support. (3Com states their
phones are SIP compatible, not 3Com's version of SIP compatibile).
Thanks for the info, hopefully somebody will have some recommendations
for a good phone brand that actually IS Asterisk compatible.
