Cisco's CM can do the multiple line appearances, showing state. We could not ever get ringback on any phone except the extension that it was assigned to.
Our workaround was to get a sidecar for each handset. With the side cars, you get colored lights that blink different colors for different call states. When it rang back, it would blink orange (I think) which was a visual cue that it needed to be picked up. I have not yet tried this with *, as I just left BYU to go to a small company with an annual IT budget of about a burger and 2 fries. But I know the skinny protocol is going to support it. There may be some features we need to fill out in the code for * to be able to take advantage of those features.

I have 3 in my Dell Poweredge 500SC but you need to have a good bios.

They should be at the top if you really want people to read them. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
