<P><SPAN class=744133223-12102003> <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Do NOT buy Pingtel phones for use with Asterisk. I
am pulling my installation this week, and another guy I know has had
to roll back his large install as well. These phones worked well
with Asterisk in a test environment but later manifested many erratic problems
upon use in production (mainly phone lock ups). I have recieved no help
from Pingtel to resolve the issues other than to suggest that the problems are
with * and suggest purchasing their proprietary soft switch and a seperate
gateway. These phones have some cool features but do not expect them to
stand behind them unless there have been major changes. You have been
warned.</FONT></SPAN></P>
