I don't know how they would work with Asterisk, but I have used these
phones.  A large comapny that I work with in Philadelphia put in an all
Nortel system last April.

The phones are nice to use, but I find the software a little strange.
Commonly used functions are a little difficult to get to. Too many
keypresses. At least compared to my reference Polycom phones.

There is chan_unistim for Asterisk so even the Nortel protocol firmware
should be workable...as opposed to going SIP. Not that there's any
reason to not use SIP. I am curious about unistim.
