[Asterisk-Users] Grandstream ATA 286 problems

[Michael D Schelin]

Network-network-network  I've sold and used them personally for about a 
year now.  The Network is everything.  Their soild on the right network 
or can be hell  on the wrong ones. (some cisco systems).  Also Asterisk 
is not a proxie or a switch. Some things don't work (like call 
forking.)  I'm a sip provider and I like Sipura a lot better but the 
3000 has problems with Asterisk.
