This is a collection of things we will not buy again, because they are seriously flawed - at least in the scenarios where we use them.

  • Linksys SRW208P Switch. Web and Telnet based managment is so broken that it is really unusable. External power supply on a 19" device doesn't help either.
  • Linksys SRW224P Switch. Crashes regulary - Switching still borks but changes in the MAC table don't happen until the unit is powercycled.
  • Gradstream BudgeTone BT-100 VoIP Phone - redefines low end.
  • Grandstream GXP-2000 VoIP Phone - crashes randomly.
  • UTStarcom F1000 WiFi? VoIP Phone - Batteries last not long enough, Hardware is flakey, Software even more.
  • Kyocera Printers. All our Kyocera printers have communication problems with cups.
  • All Allnet VoIP devices - they seem extremely flakey.
  • Aastra-Detewe RFP 32L IP-DECT-Base - needlesly difficult to configure and use.
  • Kirk DECT Handsets - overpriced and nuch harder to use than Consumer GRad Handsets, like the Siemens Gigaset family.
