That does not excuse them from not making the firmware or ducumentation available. There is no reason for them to not allow downloads or provide documentation - even requiring registration before download would be OK. Furthermore, one of the current issue people have (not being able to disable call-waiting) is going to be a problem for ANY sip PBX software, not just asterisk. If they had ONE internal advocate that monitored this list for 2 hours a day and provided feedback to internal engineering / product management, and *occasionally* provided information to the list on major issues people have, they could sell a LOT more of these phones and we would not be having this discussion. _______________________________________________ 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
