Out of 30 or so only 1 is using pots lines, but even that works fine. the largest site is 25 phones, so far and all the customers are very happy. just wanted you to know that this is still a very viable product for us. we are deploying 1 or 2 a month with sip trunking from paetec.

]]> Comment on The Importance of Picking a Brand that Lasts – Microsoft Kills Off Response Point by Justin Goldberg http://selkowitz.org/2010/05/30/the-importance-of-picking-a-brand-that-lasts-microsoft-kills-off-response-point/comment-page-1/#comment-23704 Justin Goldberg Sat, 28 May 2011 14:20:39 +0000 http://selkowitz.org/?p=254#comment-23704 Another example of this is 3Com, with their NBX and VCX lines, although that's kind of a special case because of being taken over by HP. In the case of a takeover it's unavoidable for product lines to be killed. Also 3Com's background is networking, not phone systems.

A quick double click will bring you to the login page of the PBX. Kevin, with the upnp master enabled you can go to a windows machine and bring up your network neighborhood and see the pbx there.

I've updated the firmware to the latest rev and everything seems to be working great. Good bang for the buck.

I am not having the issues I had a year ago, so I guess they've addressed a lot of the issues in the updates. So far, so good. It is an incredible bang for the buck.

EXCELLENT bang for the buck. Installed it myself, I may know my way around computer but I don't make my main living in this business. Obviously a killer in the intended market... If they had arrows to shoot that is. Worst marketing that I've ever seen! Have had the 160 for more than a year and half.
