Would like some advice from the Debian VoIP maintainers about sustainable Debian sip server

[Jelle de Jong]

Hi Eugen,

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I was not really 
asking for information about soft-phones, don't know how I made the 
connection with my questions. ;-)

I got all hardware phones like Thomson and Siemens SIP phones. I want to 
add a SIP server to my Debian server and I am searching for server 
software where I can connect my hardware phones to. With the wishes I 
describe in my first topic email.

You are welcome to give it an other shot :)

Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Jelle
