Tarun,
Do NOT buy Pingtel phones for use with Asterisk. I am pulling my installation this week, and another guy I know has had to roll back his large install as well. These phones worked well with Asterisk in a test environment but later manifested many erratic problems upon use in production (mainly phone lock ups). I have recieved no help from Pingtel to resolve the issues other than to suggest that the problems are with * and suggest purchasing their proprietary soft switch and a seperate gateway. These phones have some cool features but do not expect them to stand behind them unless there have been major changes. You have been warned.
Sincerely,
Andy
