I've bought mainly only the X5s. they have a conexant chip set, which

used for customers who need something decent.

I have had one or two croak on me. Maybe just one.

Their VOIP one is more problematic. I bought one as a test and am not

I am looking for their Hayes model to come out, just waylaid.

Also, the X5 seems backordered at provantage.com, where the lowest deal is
