[Asterisk-Users] IP Phone recommendation

[Joshua Colp]

Hello Yiannis,

I have an ipDialog SipTone II sitting right beside me. Overall it is an 
excellent phone but lacks codecs. It only has ulaw, alaw, and g729. The 
speakerphone is adequate for most things, call transferring works, holding, 
volume controller, conferencing, 2 lines, it pretty much all works. The 
interesting thing about the phone though is that it runs Linux. Thanks to 
ipDialog sending me the firmware I have been able to modify it slightly to 
get a telnet prompt available. I can't release the firmware though, who knows 
what trouble I could get into... but below is a snippet of info. Oh, be on 
the watch... I may end up selling the phone when my Ciscos come.
