Grandstream adapters in use around the world. Grandstream support is not
perfect, but it is as good or better better than most vendors, including
Linksys/Sipura. The Grandstreams do currently have a bug with header
compression right now that causes problems for some PPPoE setups, but it's
getting fixed. The newest firmware is very stable
overall.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

issues. If you consider the vast variety of different equipment that these
things have to be interoperable with you can begin to appreciate how challenging
it is to make them work properly. Given the dynamic nature of the
environment, there will always be a certain number of situations where a given
product doesn't perform.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

products are also excellent, but they are considerably more expensive for the
same functionality. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV>Grandstreams are totally useless, I had to switch all my phones to
Linksys. Grandstream will not even support you and their router side do not
work for the 486 or 496.</DIV>
