I need to be able to use this handset in the same manner I could from the U.S. office. I have not purchased any equipment as of yet, (including the PBX), and I was wondering what anyone else might reccomend? I was thinking of either the NBX (now 3com's product) LAN telephony system, or a newer Cisco based system; however cost is the biggest concern here. I was looking to maybe utilize two Cisco 827-V's over DSL lines to the internet, but then I'd have to obtain a second connection at the Canadian office; has anyone successfully connected to an 827-V using some other router or device which can simply use ethernet instead of DSL? That way I could simply assign the device a static IP address on the Canadian network, and point the U.S. Cisco 827-v to it? Anyhow, just a quick shout to see what anyone else may come up with/have done already; before I go researching the he** out of a product line that may or may not do what I want. I'm not on the list, so if you could reply directly to me, and CC the list that'd be great :) -- Nathan Vidican Nathan@Vidican.com http://Nathan.Vidican.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
