much better? I doubt it. I have it on good authority that Grandstream is

<DIV>hi ,</DIV>
<DIV>i have some options we are working with at vast deployement with no
problems:</DIV>
<DIV><A href="http://www.tigernetcom.com">www.tigernetcom.com</A> - type 102
is a nice ATA, like GS 486 but far away better.</DIV>
<DIV>we import directly from the producer at great prices so if anybody
interested, please contact off-list.</DIV>
<DIV>additionaly, we know another excellent producer (price of about 45$ FOB
china) we would recomend off-list.</DIV>

$.02 is that HT486 sucks as a router. It works well as a
ATA. I have 5 and have all of them are behind separate
routers. The HT486 never gave me the full download speed of my
cable modem and even when my PC wasn't powered up, and I wasn't talking on
the HT486 my cable modem still looked like the HT486 was sending traffic
non-stop. I put a Buffalo router in front of the HT486 and all is
good. Cable modem doesn't look full of activity during idle time
and my PC can use the cable modem to fullest potential. <BR><BR>It's a shame
too, because I bought the HT486's for the router capability. It
turned out to be a waste.<BR><BR>Marc<BR><BR>-----Original
