If you are replacing a legacy PBX, then you can save yourself lots
of work by using Citel SIP Handset Gateways to connect your legacy
business sets to SIP networks (including Asterisk).  You get to keep
your current handsets and wiring, so you don't need to pay for new
phones, rewiring, or PoE.

For more information, visit www.citel.com and look at Handset Gateways.
