[Asterisk-Users] New $89 VOIP phone

[Kanuri, Seshu]

I dont agree with this view of yours below about the usefulness of ethernet ports.

All that you need is 64Kbps at the highest on these ports to 
establish a Voice call. Even if you are running a Video Phone, 
all you need may be 512Kbps at 32Fips.

Why do you need any thing that is capable of a larger bandwidth?

I have the same phone sitting here... Not worth $89, IMHO.  If does have
two eth ports, but they're 10mbit, so they're essentially useless,
unless you plug in a printer or something slow.  Only one call
appearance, and (with my software) the caller-name didn't work, only
calling number.  Lastly, the included power-supply wasn't UL listed,
which would preclude its use in an office environment (OSHA and friends
come to mind)
