asterisk users - Jan 2006 - D-Link announces Asterisk on Router/DSL-Modem

Found this today:

D-Link has apparently positioned itself to challenge the AVM Fritz!Box
(which is an analog & ISDN home PBX including DSL modem, router, LAN &
WLAN). The PBX service of this device called "HorstBox Professional"
DVA-
G3342SB will be provided by Asterisk, and it should become available
sometime around Q2/2006 for aprox. 450 EUR (let me add that this is twice
as much as the Fritz!Box).

I wonder, though, why does HorstBox sound a bit like HoaxBox? ;->

Well,  Philipp .. as it is a development of DLINK Germany, they can name it 
whatever they like, even if it sounds strange  ;-) ...

Nevertheless, the box looks like quite competitive thing, with ISDN FXO and 
FXS, 3 POTS FXS, WLAN etc ... Hard to compete for an embedded system like 
the Fritz!box.fon ...

Thanks for sharing! for this price, it seems a very good thing. Let's 
wait untill it's out. I think the "idea" is not new, but the price
indication is nice.

I have two of these units and I love them. All the elegance of SIP 
without the hassle of NAT.
