[Asterisk-Users] Mediatrix Gateways

[Jerry Jones]

Checkout the Adit 3104. Just installed one this week and now have 6  
more on order. Seems to be working fine and very straightforward,  
just make sure you have the latest code.
It will register with * and each port has a seperate account just  
like a seperate hardphone

it also is a router and firewall with optional vpn. Sip is an option  
also. Comes in 8,16, and 24 port flavors.
