[Asterisk-Users] ADSI phone vs. IP phone

[Master Abi]

Aastra will have a production PT480i SIP phone in March for ~US180-$200. 
Same phone as ADSI model just SIP, but has 4 extra buttons for virtual 
lines. Got a beta SIP model under test. Designed for SIP v1 & v2. * is 
one of PBX used for testing by development, so should be * friendly when 
released.
