[Asterisk-Users] Vtech/Vonage Wireless Phone system

[Michael Graves]

All these things are is just an ATA built into a plain vanilla analog
cordless phone system...ok, a 5.8 Ghz system....vanilla with sprinkles
;-)

Nothing special at all. You'd be better off with a Sipura device and a
Panasonic cordless phone.
