[Asterisk-Users] please recommend phones with adsi.

[Chris Coulthurst]

So much for not stepping on toes.

Incidently, there have been dev-asterisk posts in the past relating to ADSI 
tones being processed through a SIP channel, so theoretically, a softphone 
'could' exist.  I've been hard-pressed just to find any documentation via 
google explaining any ADSI-command-standards-list.  I've seen some ADSI 
telephones that have little more than glorified caller ID, while others 
(like the 390 or 450) that have priorities, soft keys, etc etc)

So, yes, it is also possible that a softphone could exist....

I hope you are talking about the same post from Dmitry. The following

For which I responded look at the wiki and I even included a direct
link to the wiki. I don't see in any way how this doesn't answer his
question. In any case it sure doesn't look like he has any clue of
*any* ADSI phones, since he asking for a softphone that supports ADSI,
while I can't say it doens't exist or there is no use for it (BTW, I'm
almost sure it doesn't exist), there sure isn't a market for it. Since
ADSI is something made to work on Analog networks.

While if you were asking for good jazz music the Sam Goody answer
wouldn't do, if you had no clue what jazz music is then the Sam Goody
answer is the right answer.

In most cases when you see that blanket answer of go to the wiki, it
is becuase the person posting the question has thru the question told
everyone I havn't seen the wiki yet. Which BTW was the case here.

Hope this helps you understand why that answer was in place. Please
don't take this as being on my badside I'm just trying to explain to
you what RTFM means.

All of us are busy with somethings, we take our time to answer the
questions here on the list it doesn't mean that we are here to do the
work for you so that you could be a lazy bum. If someone is lacking
the knowledge of searching the wiki and shows that thru posting that
question of any soft phones supporting ADSI, I answerd the question
with the most repect I could gather for the 2 seconds by directing
them to the wiki, since with that question they showed they had no
clue the wiki exists, and if Dmitry will tell me that he did know
about the wiki and still posted the question the way he did, then he
did not deserve my 2 seconds.
