[Asterisk-Users] WiFi VoIP Handsets..

[Bruce Reeves]

I tested out a UTStarcom F1000 that has WEP support. The only problem I
found is that the original firmware dropped calls when roaming between AP's.
It is also hard to hear when in a noise enviroment without an earbur or
headset of some sort. I have been curious about Linksys 2 new offerings and
wether 802.11g support will make any differences.
