[Asterisk-Users] new cisco VoIP phones

[Jon Pounder]

Is it just me, or has Cisco's foray into the consumer market resulted in a 
bunch of absolute crap hardware that everyone continues to think is just 
great due to the cisco name ?

I have had experience with several of their adsl routers and they suck 
bigtime.

1) the power supplies catch fire - yes cisco admitted that.
2) the adsl modem locks up all the time and requires a power cycle to fix 
(I guess they don't know what a watchdog timer is for) - real handy at 2am 
when no one is around.
3) the resync cycle on a poor line can cause more than 50% downtime during 
resyncs even when the line only had a little spike on it.

Sounds like their latest voip offerings are more of the same garbage.

When the rackmount form factor went away so did the expectation the box 
would function I guess.
