I hear ya. I guess what I was getting at was that I couldn't see much hope of getting Asterisk to natively support proprietary sets, but if he was really keen on re-using the phones (a major expenditure in a PBX purchase), he'd stand the best chance of doing so with some type of mechanism to convert the proprietary protocol to an open standard of some kind. Supporting the proprietary phones is theoretically possible, but prohibitively expensive. There'd be some nifty electronics required, methinks. The real key, of course, would be finding a group of �ber-geeks willing to put the time and effort into such a project. You'd have to find the kind of guys that like rebuilding old video games . . . or steam locomotives ;-� _______________________________________________ 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
