Just wondering if others are aware of this very impressive phone manufactured by Nortel/Aastra.
This has got to be the most feature filled phone I have ever used. Has back lighted 3-line display, and supports 2-lines.
Best part is it has a USB interface, that sends CID, CWCID, and other data to your HA PC.
While the inculded programs and utilities are written for Windows 95/98, I have found several W2K,XP programs that actually ID the unit as a communications device. Sends and receives data over its USB port in real time, also It stores call info internally, and can send out data in Excel or Access, Text files in comma or Tab delimited format.
Perfect interface to HomeSeer.
I see them on eBay all the time both new and used for around a $100 new, and much less for used.
I liked it so much I purchased 3 for my HA setup.
