We're using Cisco ATA186's and Grandstream phones, both of which are working perfectly. We also have a channel bank and have physical phones connected to the same Asterisk box, and all of them are working together - it's a really powerful system once you get it going. We found that most soft clients were good (Xten was the best) but our users didn't like having to use a softphone. Most people like the Cisco ATA, because it lets them use a real, physical phone and 'feels' more like a real phone than a SIP phone. For outbound lines, we have several setups - from using physical FXO's from Bell to using pure SIP to our phone company. If you'd like any advice / configuration help, just drop me a line and I can help you out. Regards, M.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to setup an Asterisk-based PBX with extensions in the office and at homes. There seems to be a lot of options on the client side [from gnophone, some cisco hardware phones, qtphone, ...].

Does anyone have a similar [or partial] setup like this? Can you offer some advice on which clients have worked best?
