missed something...

reliably? It appe
Hi. I have been searching through old threads and various forums, but can't seem to find out what the consensus view is here on the best type of FXO hardware to use for a home asterisk implementation.Specifically, should I buy a FXO ATA like the Sipura 3000, or a PCI form factor port like the Digi
I have read the user reports on the Aastra 480i SIP phones, but the last report is from October, and the advice was to stay away from these units. I was looking at the cisco 79XX series or the SPA-941's, but they don't have backlit displays. I also like POE support so I don't have to run multiple
Hi.. I am about to replace my aging Nortel Venture
system with an Asterisk system and 6 Polycom IP 501
phones, and a couple sipura 841's for less used areas.
We have 3 phone lines here. One is SBC, one Vonage,

No, I believe they send tones that activate the MWI
light on the phones. I am pretty sure about this, but
