asterisk users - Dec 2007 - Phone with public address functionality

I have searched for this without much luck.  I want to be able to send
public-address-like notices over VoIP phones.  The LinkSys SPA-941
auto-answer support comes close to working, except that if you are
currently in a call it places that call on hold without warning.  I'm
willing to consider a more expensive phone to solve the problem if I
have to.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Doug

I think the newer version of the firmware fixes this problem.

Polycoms seem to work well.

On a similar note...  has anyone ever seen a SIP-based door intercom unit?

Functionality I'm looking for is...  basically an outdoor rated weather
resistant speaker with 1 button and microphone, when the button is
pressed, it dials a specified SIP extension.  Likewise, from the Asterisk
box, someone can call a SIP extension and the call goes to the intercom
speaker so you can initiate a conversation with the person at the door if
they just rang the bell but didn't push the intercom button.

Preferably something with power over ethernet support.

Thanks,

-- Nick
