Hi, I`m looking for a SIP-PSTN adapter, basically to switch a customer from a cheap PBX to mine, but resuing their own Norstar PSTN phones. They have 10 phones. From a price point of view, it seems that 10 individual GrandStream SIP adapters is the best way to go, but it seems so inelegant to me. What is recommended ? Second question: I have a GrandStream GXP-2000, that despite what everybody says I love. I am still looking for a replacement, if only because it doesn`t look as good and it does have a few quirks. I was looking at Polycoms, but some questions are unanswered by looking at their datasheet. - Does the Polycom 501 have an integrated router (like the GXP-2000, latest firmware, does) - Can you have more than one SIP/account on the phone, each ringing in a way that lets the user know which account is ringing? (GXP2000 does it by making it possible to have each "line" linked to a separate SIP account) Thank you, Mike -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you're wondering if it has a two NIC interfaces (a pass-through for the PC) then yes.> - Can you have more than one SIP/account on the phone, each ringing in > a way that lets the user know which account is ringing?
