[Asterisk-bsd] IP Phone Recommendation

There are several phones (or clones of the same phone) that run IAX. The
principal issue, from what I've heard, is they aren't that good. Try and look
for "atcom"; if you can't find anything, let me know and I'll dig up a link.

I wish more phones spoke IAX, as it's a great protocol, when it works.

Another poster asked about the BudgeTone ... one variation has 2 ports so you
can plug your desktop in, but I believe it's only a 10Mbps device.

They are not IAX compatible. As for sellers, there should be a list on
voip-info, which even has the people with the best prices.
