[cisco-voip] VG350 Gateway ... anyone deployed this yet?

[Nick Matthews]

When I did the cost comparison last I did use the smartnet cost in the
calculation, and I believe made the 350 more appealing.  If you need less
than the full port capacity of the VG350 the 224's still hold their value.
Think about that in terms of where all your cables home run as you may not
have all of your analog in one closet, etc.
