The Gigaset IP Phones avoid the extra conversion to analog and back, so call quality should be audibly better.


Note that the SPA112 is nowhere near as nice as the PAP2T. The rumour I once heard (here?) was that Cisco lost access to the PAP2T source code, so they did a rewrite from scratch, trying to clone the original. It works, but takes up to 2 minutes to boot up instead of 5 seconds or so. And since it reboots with every setting change, this can be annoying.

The PAP2T failures are _usually_ just the power supply, so if you can find a beefy enough PSU with the same output voltage then it might come back to life.
