Hello, I found serveral discussions about the Zyxel ePhone Prestige P2000W and the WiSip from Pulver Innovations on this mailings list but still have some questions: 1) are there other affordable wireless SIP Phones on the market? I haven't seen or found anything else till now ... 2) is p2000w and wisip the same hardware?? so could I use firmware from both companies regardless of what phone I buy?? 3) does any of these phones have major bugs or will it be usable in a productive environment without getting mad or sleepless ?? 4) any security issues with these phones? Last but not least does anyone who knows both phones recommend anyone of these?? Or should I just buy the cheaper one? And one offtopic question ... does anyone know or can recommend a gsm to pbx adapter which costs less than 300 Euro?? Best regards g23

So yes.> 3) does any of these phones have major bugs or will it be usable in a > productive environment without getting mad or sleepless ??The P200W and the WiSIP have quite a lot of bugs and usability issues. I would not use them in a productive environment unless it is with people with a technical background. The firmware and the phone are not there yet. The only Wireless SIP phone I would use in a productive environment would be the Cisco 7920.> 4) any security issues with these phones?WEP is NOT secure - if you need security use wired and encrypted communication.> Last but not least does anyone who knows both phones recommend > anyone of these??

See the asterisk wiki for further information. We also happy that now 2 additional developers are working on the chan_sccp drivers towards reliability, compatibility and ease of configuration. I use my 7920 in office and home with medium (~50 calls/day) load without any issues. --jan -- Jan Czmok, Network Engineering & Support, Global Access Telecomm, Inc.
