You said 'office' so I'm presuming you want business quality. If you have already tried the Polycom's I'd look at Aastra (just did a 50+ seat implementation with 9133i's & 480i's) and also look at the Cisco 79xx's. Cisco's & Aastra's both handle multiple appearances differently but both are excellent. Cisco has superb handsfree quality. Aastra has better BLF support. You will have to evaluate for yourself. Aastra is significantly cheaper. That said, there is a 7960 on my desk that isn't going anywhere soon. I hear the Grandstream firmware is better now but physically they are still pretty flimsy. I would stay away from them for anything but experimentation. dbc. _______________________________________________ --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
