[Asterisk-Users] Looking for a wireless phone... wifiortraditionalwireless ?
This senario works great! I have a Snom phone coupled with a Linksys Wireless game adapter. When on a event trip I was able to have the snom ring where ever there was a signal. So the proof of concept passed. Unfortunatly all the wifi phones I have read about seem to suck! -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com <asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com> To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Thu Jan 13 12:34:45 2005 Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Looking for a wireless phone... wifiortraditionalwireless ? You shouldn't need any port forwarding. I've found any SIP phones I've worked with have happily moved from site to site behind NATs, etc. So I see no reason to believe that the WiFi phone would be any different - it's just connecting wirelessly instead of with a wire. And to answer your second question, I suspect some people would have very good use for such a phone. Myself personally, I travel often - in the last 6 weeks I've been home for precisely 4 days. Most of the hotels, etc I stay at have wireless of one sort or another, most of my friends have wireless in their homes, may offices I work at have wireless. So I could see very good use for having a wifi phone I can take with me.... regards, Paul ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Johnson" <bjohnson@johnson-engineering.ca> To: "Asterisk Users Mailing List -Non-Commercial Discussion" <asterisk-users@lists.digium.com> Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 7:41 AM Subject: Re: [Asterisk-Users] Looking for a wireless phone... wifiortraditional wireless ?> In that example you could make outgoing calls only correct?
