[Asterisk-Users] New $89 VOIP phone

[Jay Milk]

I have the same phone sitting here... Not worth $89, IMHO.  If does have
two eth ports, but they're 10mbit, so they're essentially useless,
unless you plug in a printer or something slow.  Only one call
appearance, and (with my software) the caller-name didn't work, only
calling number.  Lastly, the included power-supply wasn't UL listed,
which would preclude its use in an office environment (OSHA and friends
come to mind)
