In fact, this is the only situation where I still use Grandstream handsets. They support "auto answer" as well as "auto answer by call info" which allows you to auto answer based upon the SIP header in case you don't want *ALL* calls to be auto answered. The only thing to watch out for is the Grandstream power supplies *WILL* die on you, likely within 2 years. For every Grandstream device I've deployed in the last few years, the power supply died and needed to be replaced. Luckily, they're just simple 5v wall warts and easy to find.

Xlite on your kitchen computer? Check out amazon or ebay for current pricing of "real" phones - auto-answer probably starts on the $75 and up phones. -----Original Message----- From: asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces at lists.digium.com] On Behalf Of Leif Neland Sent: Monday, December 28, 2009 3:23 PM To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: [asterisk-users] cheap ip phone with auto-answer I want some cheap ip-phones with auto-answer, to work as paging system at dinnertime.
