You've run into the same problem a lot of other people have had. Remapping hard keys works fine, but remapping soft keys does not. In fact, trying to remap the soft keys results in some pretty weird behavior. The Polycom manual is a little misleading in that it doesn't mention this at all. My best guess is that the softkeys don't work because they can mean different things depending on what the phone is doing at the time. Polycom, if you're reading this, this would be another great feature to have! - Noah _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
