[Asterisk-Users] OT: USB handsets / softphones

[Paul Mahler]

I agree, this is a fun device. It's a lot easier to use than a headset. 

The sound quality is excellent. Just don't turn up the volume too much or you
will get a lot of echo. Echo is less of a problem with a good usb headset. 

It's a little quirky. All the sound from your pc gets routed to the phone. You 
can set x-lite to send ringing elsewhere. You have to load the driver that
comes with the phone to be able to dial from the phone keypad. 

to dial a call, you press the dail button, dial the number, and press the dial
button again.

Here is just my personal opinion on the whole thing as I spent a good deal of
time on this myself. In the end I had MUCH better results, and better sound
quality moving to a Sipura SPA-1001 and a $14.99 cordless phone (with
$12 rebate at Best Buy). Not only does it sound better, I don't have to walk
around carrying my huge laptop.

Full review of the SPA-1001 will be on GeekGazette tonight.

Hi all,

After googling around and searching both * and xten archives, I was still
unable to find a working pair of softphone/usb *handset* that work with both
keypad operating the softphones buttons *and* working incoming call ringer on
the handset. I'm hoping that, while being OT for * discussion, someone else on
this list had luck with finding a pair that works, preferably with xten's
xlite/xpro.

Any feedback is appreciated.

regards,
Vahan
