Well, what it seems to come down to is two things: 1) People *expect* business phones to just plain have more buttons 2) People want one-button convenience For example, people want to be able to push a single button to reach at least a selection of internal extensions. Or, they want to be able to press a single button for parking a call, or voicemail, or who-knows-what. Of course, a standard analog phone can't do those things: it doesn't have the buttons! :) I guess even a telephone with speed dial buttons could do that, maybe? Something like this: http://www.101phones.com/flypage/2126/8a3a9cb7ed9a26e52f4129070e30b829/Panasonic_KX-TS105W I was just wondering how others are addressing this. You can't all be making receptionists memorize codes, are you? :) Tim Massey _______________________________________________ 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
