class=375571400-03042005>I've been playing with Asterisk for a few weeks now,
and I've gotten everything to work well with softphones, so I'm ready to move on
to normal VoIP phones. I've been looking around and reading comments that
people have had, and I was convinced that the Polycom IP300 was a great phone
