Just picked up two of these puppies from my parcelforce depot. Man, they are smart phones. They look the business. I installed one within seconds, fantastic web configuration - much like the SPA3000 box. Speakerphone sounds good, handset feels and sounds good. I'll be using this heavily over the next couple of days, and I'll let you all know how we find it. And nearly half the price of a second-hand 7940 it's a real steal. Julian.
We have a review of it at http://voipspeak.net, I personally really like it.

I agree, this phone has now filled a large void in my client base, especially for small systems in the 4 Trunk x 8 phone range. The Ciscos were just way too expensive to make it viable. -Darren ________________________________ From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com on behalf of Julian Lyndon-Smith Sent: Mon 11/21/2005 12:08 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Linksys SPA941 Just picked up two of these puppies from my parcelforce depot.

I read on the review at http://voipspeak.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27 that the next 942 model will have a second Ethernet port and PoE support. Other than that it looks like quite a nice phone. Polycom's IP301 featureset beats the SPA941 on some points as it does have dual Ethernet ports and PoE support but it is limited to 2 lines. Anyone with first hand experience with both phones want to share their thoughts? Regards, Patrick
