[Asterisk-Users] Answering Service Auto Login
I have looked at several IAX and SIP soft phones but I have been disappointed with the sound quality on my Windows XP Pro PC. Also the GrandStream problem is that they don't yet support headsets. When I turn auto answer on and I dial in it instantly picks up with the speaker phone. But if I have the handset picked up when a call is coming in the line is busy. That means that the phone itself would require a headset jack that operates like the speaker phone. Thanks for the info. I wonder if all of the current answering services actually have to click a button on a headset and on their screens? Does anyone currently use asterisk in an answering service? What kind of phone/headset/call connection system do you use?

You'd have to figure out how to replace the handset with a headset, though. Apart from that you could look at a software phone like Steven Sokols IAX based phone, I think that one also has an auto-answer function. But still the quality of softphones tends to be worse than those of hardphones. Cheers, Philipp
