Thanks all for your input on/off list. Much appreciated! I first considered the 2N equipments as they seem to be asterisk-friendly; however, the price is not suitable for development purposes I have. VoiceBlue are great for a production environment instead. [I just want to stretch my Asterisk's legs for now and see how far it goes -- LOL] On the other side, the taiwanese solution sounds within the range - I'll give them a try. Wished I could get one locally but I guess we'll have to rely on eBay for this. I'll keep you all posted on any feedback of the product once I can test it out Thanks again and have all a wonderful day! Warmest Regards, Claudius
