Google sez Cisco sez they're SIP. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cata/186_188/2_15/english/administration/guide/sip/SIP88CH1.html You can use them to attach analog phones (e.g. yer typical cordless phone, or even a FAX machine) to an Asterisk server or a VoIP service (such as CallCentric.) If you have a cellphone and don't make or receive international calls from home much, you probably don't have much use for one. Note the international angle: immigrants with internet at home would be well served by someone with ATAs or hardphones and some VoIP knowledge. Currently, they use cheezy calling cards and by-the-minute cellphones. The fact that you can get local numbers in major cities around the world means that their families could call them back cheaply, too. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
