asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Re: Looking for a wireless phone...

Paul-

I have a ZyXel Prestige 2000W. It seemed to be junk at first,
(not saving settings, flaky network connectivity, etc.)
But upgrading it to the latest firmware seemed to fix the issues.
The only complaint I have with it currently is weak encryption. (64 or 
128-bit WEP)
YMMV.
