asterisk users - Mar 2007 - Linksys/Sipura SPA-942 phones in larger deployments

Greetings list,

Does anyone have any experiences they'd like to share deploying these phones
in medium-size asterisk setups, e.g. 40+ users? I have a project coming up to
deploy 100 phones over 2 offices and the client rather likes these phones. Are
there any obvious pitfalls/configuration difficulties/quality issues etc. using
these phones? If so, what alternatives would people suggest with a similar
feature set and price range?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Chris

Chris,

Having deployed every major brand of sip handset in numbers greater  
than 100, I can say that I recommend the Polycom product hands-down  
for these types of roll-outs.  Provisioning and management are  
superior and the product if of generally better quality than the SPA  
line.

If you want more details, please feel free to contact me off-list.

Thanks,

Linksys will be glad to not provide you with any provisioning at all.
There is a program required to encode the config files, cant prove you
are vonage, too bad no file for you.
