[Asterisk-Users] 3com NBX phones

[Derek Bruce]

The original 3com NBX phones are 3com part #655000803...

If you have an image from the 3com SIP phone I would be very appreciative if
you could get a copy of it to me for testing... The 3com phones are VERY
nice ergonomically.... I'd hate to throw $4K worth of phones into storage...
