    I bought one
    Email claimed I am getting deal because I had one already (true) but it is worth a shot if you have not bought one.

    “Targeted by Newegg” has a new meaning these days…

    Per the article:
    "Newegg refused, gave up spending records (to CT revenuers) , and now their customers have bills.
    “Newegg threw all their customers under the bus, frankly, I will not be making a purchase with them ever again,” Gillis said.

    Interesting because IIRC Newegg went to the mat with a patent troll on some bogus internet commerce patent and beat him. But when the government shows up at their door step they folded like a cheap suit.
    "“The easiest, fairest, simplest way for this to work is for the retailer, just like any other retailer, to charge the tax, collect the tax and remit the tax,” (state revenuer) Sullivan said."

    Of course. He would say that. Doesn’t matter that it is unconstitutional for a state to tax commerce by businesses not in their state.

    I use ooma with no issues, if Obi200 is comparable, then this is a good price even with tax. The code is no longer working, though.
