[Asterisk-Users] 3Com NBX phones

[Clif Jones]

We still have a few of the 3com phones in use at our company but we do 
not support them with our
SIP products.  The 3com phone was meant to be a PBX feature phone as you 
stated and as a result
the flash ROM and RAM was not beefy enough to support the SIP protocol 
as it matured.  The last
ROM update we got before they pulled the plug was still an old pre 3261 
bis standard which has problems
with voicemail and other centrex like features.  The sad part is that 
the phone HW had a good speakerphone
and booted faster than any other phone that we have tested (about 2 
seconds).
