I’ve been traveling a lot lately so the phones around my home office have been idle. Even so, I was a little surprised to find that my snom m3 was not making or receiving calls this morning. Well, it was and it wasn’t. I could dial out and the call appeared to be placed, but I never heard any audio.

“Amanda Blundell”,”684″
“Chris Hopkin”,”667″
“Chris Leonard”,”674″
About a week ago I loaded the v1.19 beta firmware into my m3 system. No obvious problems but I've been traveling since then so I haven't used it a lot. The snom wiki now has instructions on loading the beta…
