[asterisk-users] Diagnosing call problem

[Mitch Claborn]

I've installed 7 Digium D40's over the last 24 hours.  They work 
flawlessly - no dropped calls, no 1-way audio, sound quality is 
noticeably better.  If these work out through Monday (our busiest day) 
then we'll order a dozen more for the rest of the agents.

The one downside to this approach is that the agent has to have one 
headset for the phone and another for their computer (which they need 
occasionally).

I get to go home on Saturday!  The Digium phone deployment is simple 
enough to manage remotely.
