       | The T65 was a formidable phone. Very good audio too.

       | The other approach is to make the phone do voip stuff by itself,
       | as in put a linux board in, connect speaker and mic to it and
       | setup baresip with some button ui.

       | Interesting, that is a nice looking phone. At the same time here
       | in the US, AT&T Phones were ugly in comparison. But they were
       | indestructible at least, even when you wanted to break them :)

       | on them.
