Check out the new Grandstream GXP-2000. I've been testing these, they're much better than the BT-100s.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] IP Phones for home use?
Thanks for all the opinions I have a lot of good examples now. I do like the 7940G and I may borrow one from the lab and see how well it goes. I'm also happy to have the rest of the opinions and I've not eliminated the other vendors just slimmed it down to fewer models. Lastly my wife informed me that she wants this really ugly phone to be put in the kitchen. Looks like a phone with a crank on the side. I know better than argue so I'll be getting one of the Sipura gateway devices. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/ (Text only) http://hcs.sourceforge.net/ (HCS II) http://linuxha.blogspot.com/My HA Blog ___ 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

RE: [Asterisk-Users] IP Phones for home use?
This winds up being very user specific. I love Polycom, others love SNOM others love Cisco... Etc... The Polycom IP300 is nice but only one row LED. IP500 is a great phone and has 3 line LED. Personally, I love the whole upright look and the phones have good speaker phone. $0.02.

Neil, The Cisco 7912G is a great phone or the 7940G, the 7912 only handles one line, but has a higher resolution screen, while the 7940 can handle 2 (4 with call waiting).

One approach (of several) would be to use a Sipura spa2000 or spa3000 and attach all of your existing house phones to the fxs port(s). If the spa3000, then it would provide the fxo interface to your pstn line as well. If you still want a fancy looking multiline phone, consider the cisco 7960 or polycomm models. ___ 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
