Hi all, After googling around and searching both * and xten archives, I was still unable to find a working pair of softphone/usb *handset* that work with both keypad operating the softphones buttons *and* working incoming call ringer on the handset. I'm hoping that, while being OT for * discussion, someone else on this list had luck with finding a pair that works, preferably with xten's xlite/xpro. Any feedback is appreciated. regards, Vahan -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Here is just my personal opinion on the whole thing as I spent a good deal of time on this myself. In the end I had MUCH better results, and better sound quality moving to a Sipura SPA-1001 and a $14.99 cordless phone (with $12 rebate at Best Buy). Not only does it sound better, I don't have to walk around carrying my huge laptop. Full review of the SPA-1001 will be on GeekGazette tonight.

[Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones
I can stand by the USB U2 Phone sold at http://www.eezeephone.com connected to a Firefly Third Party Version of the Softphone. This is one of the best combos I have ever used. Voice quality is phenomenal when using GSM or ILBC at just one end (better if on bothe ends) Seshu -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Kerry Garrison Sent: Friday, April 15, 2005 2:16 PM To: 'Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion' Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones Here is just my personal opinion on the whole thing as I spent a good deal of time on this myself.

I agree, this is a fun device. It's a lot easier to use than a headset. The sound quality is excellent. Just don't turn up the volume too much or you will get a lot of echo. Echo is less of a problem with a good usb headset. It's a little quirky. All the sound from your pc gets routed to the phone. You can set x-lite to send ringing elsewhere. You have to load the driver that comes with the phone to be able to dial from the phone keypad. to dial a call, you press the dail button, dial the number, and press the dial button again.>I can stand by the USB U2 Phone sold at http://www.eezeephone.com connected to >a Firefly Third Party Version of the Softphone.

Not to ignore the fact that this is the cheapest and installtion free VOIP device that you can use for a real conversation, without bothering about the protocols. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Paul Mahler Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2005 10:57 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones I agree, this is a fun device.
