Hi, Sergio.  I can't help you with your Budgetone problem, but I thought
I would help you with your English.  This may seem trivial, but my Italian
and German friends have been helping me with my Italian and German, so I
thought I would help the cause of international harmony.

'Extrange' is not a word in English.  I think you mean 'strange'.

The first sentence is much clearer if re-written like this...

"For several days we have been having a very strange problem."

Here is a clearer translation of the rest...

"When we try to connect to a Budgetone on the intranet, it works for
a few seconds, but after a while the audio between the intranet and
extranet cuts off."

"This is not the only problem.  The same thing happens when an intranet
Budgetone speaks with another intranet phone."

"This is the debug message I see when the Budgetone conversation cuts-off:"

.
.
.

"I have checked the configuration files.  I can't find it anywhere in the
log files and I don't know what to do.  Could it be an internal network
problem?  A switch problem?  Are you aware of any bugs in the Budgetone
firmware?"

You seem to be making a consistent error.  In English, our adverbs and
adjectives occur before the noun.  For example, while we would say,
"Intenet phone", most "romance" languages like Spanish, Italian and
French would put the adjective after the noun and put an 'of' between.

This is a common translation error for people who speak these languages.

So instead of saying "phone of the Internet", say "Internet phone". We
understand what you mean, but it looks very 'stange'. ;-)

I don't intend to embarass you.  That's why I didn't copy the rest of the
list.  I just thought it would be easier to communicate your ideas
next time if you were aware.

Good luck with your SIP phone problem.
