SIP in higher education

[Art Gaylord <>]

Hi,

We tried a Citel unit for our Nortel phones and had mixed success.  We 
mostly have very old model handsets and it recognized some of them but 
not others. On some of the models it did work with the basic 
functionality worked but not many of the extra features that make the 
proprietary handset special to people.   In general, however, it looked 
like a good device.  We decided not to use it because it wasn't going to 
handle enough of our handset collection and because the cost/device was 
rather high (that is a high fraction of the cost of buy new SIP phones.)

In fairness, a final caveat we looked at the Citel over a year ago, 
probably closer to 2 years, and have not reevaluated it since.

p.s.  400 Snom phones deployed and counting.
