Has there been any luck getting the 3Com NBX series phones to work with Asterisk? Thanks! -Andrew
3com made a phone that supported SIP but was discontinued. From what I have heard, the hardware was exactly the same, just a different BIOS. I would like to try or hear of someone trying to flash an NBX phone into a SIP phone. Here is a link to one that sold on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3057972164&category=11909 We use an NBX here in my office and the business phones are great. No worry though, 3com's new product VCX7000 ( http://drs.yahoo.com/S=2766679/K=3com+vcx/v=2/SID=e/l=WS1/R=1/H=0/*-http://www.3comvcx.net/ ) line is basically going to be an Asterisk system (plus a large fortune) and will even run Linux (NBX runs VxWorks) Work off of SIP and the phones should be one step up from the current ones. I am sure they will attempt to make everything proprietary but going the direction of SIP is a very good sign.

Does anyone know if the 3Com NBX 2102 series phones with with * ? There are a crapload (a very precise measurement) on eBay, but I can't figure out what protocols they talk.

What seems different is that you could flash it at all. When connecting to an NBX, these phones grab their firmware from the NBX they pin up to. I suppose there is a flashable area on the phone that is used as a boot loader in NBX mode, and probably to store the whole image when flashed with SIP. Can anyone confirm these are the same phones? Because I still have boxes of them somewhere too (that seems to be a common thread here). Daryl
