Depends on what functions you are trying to implement. Hold isn't hard on a regular phone. Transfer isn't hard. Voicemail access isn't hard. Beyond that, there isn't a lot that needs to be done. If you find that you need more functions, then you may need to move up to a SIP phone. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
