Hi! It would be difficult to determine an "All" in your question as
regard to handset manufacturers. How many of such manufacturers would
be considered as a legitimate answer? Just let me know. :)

Request for Answer Clarification by edbasart-ga on 20 Jan 2003 08:25 PST

Somewhat disappointing.  Vendors from my list that were missed: 
Sayson, scitecinc, Telstrat and Teledex.  www.iptelephony.org had an
interesting list, which also didn't show up.  Consumer, home phones,
and wireless phones are not of interest, as I only want phones used as
normal business phones.  I'm happy that there are some new vendors I
never heard of, e.g. audiosears and choicehandset.  Can you possibly
take another whack at this?

Dear edbasart -

Thanks for your clarification request.
My apologies for taking a couple of days to respond.

I will definitely take another whack at this for you - our goal is for
you to be satisfied.  However, in order to ensure that I don't just
come back with more manufacturers you are already familiar with -
could you please share with me what you know thus far?

thanks much,
ragingacademic

Request for Answer Clarification by edbasart-ga on 22 Jan 2003 10:20 PST

I'm really looking for phone manufacturers that make standards-based
phones and sell to phone system vendors.  Example is Telstrat, which
makes analog phones and IP phones.  A phone system vendor like Altigen
might resell this phone under their own name.  Phones from Avaya,
Nortel and Cisco are proprietary and not as interesting.  Other
vendors I have found:  Cidco, DSG Technology, e-tel, Pingtel, Sayson,
scitecinc, Telstrat and Teledex.  This URL has the best list:

Cortelco

Ameriphone

I hope these additional manufacturers round out the answer for you. 
It is, of course, getting harder and harder to identify relevant
manufacturers since we have already identified so many.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

thanks,
ragingacademic

Good enough results.  Stop here.  Iwatsu and Nitsuko were finds.  I'd
heard of Nitsuko but never wrote the name down.  Iwatsu was a complete
surprise.  I would rate this 3 star result. (But I can't change from
the 2-star previously.)

Dear edbasart -

This is really unfortunate; I worked for many many hours to compile
your list, it was not an easy project by any means.

For future reference, please remember that the stars correspond
roughly to the relative percentage out of 100, i.e. 5 stars is 100%, 4
stars 80%, 3 stars 60% and so forth.

thanks,
ragingacademic

Researcher did followup.  See rating on followup

edbasart, I think you are doing everyone a bad favor by rating this
answer with 2 stars. Didn't you read the FAQ? If a researcher gets too
low of a rating, he gets delisted. That means YOU (and everyone else
here) loses access to some of the best researchers around. If only for
your own selfish reasons, please rate good answers with appropriate
ratings. It wouldn't hurt to tip your researcher, either.

I can only rate on the results achieved.  It's unfortunate that my
researcher worked so hard and got only fair results.

It took a few months, but now I have a good list of phone
manufacturers.  The April issue of Internet Telephony has a good list
of IP phone makers:  http://www.tmcnet.com/it/0403/0403SG.htm  A
gander at this list reveals the paucity of information that one can
gather from the web these days from search engines such as Google. 
Hardly any of the phones in the article made it into Google.
