I have a problem. The average person is too freaking stupid to use a VOIP 
phone. My experience has so far been that if it doesn't have 20 buttons with 
little red LED's on it, the user cannot comprehend call parking, attended 
transfer, blind transfer, DND, and navigating through a voicemail menu.

I need a good receptionist phone that works with Asterisk. It basically needs 
to act like an avaya partner phone, I don't need 20 buttons with little red 
LED's...what I do need is for the phone to register multiple extensions to my 
asterisk server and act like each SIP extension is a line, so if the idiot 
receptionist has a call ringing in on line 1, she can pick it up, look at the 
buttons, see a call ringing in on line 2 (and the phone ringer rings), put call 
1 on hold without hanging the caller up, and hit the little "I am an idiot and 
need a line 2 button" to pick up line 2, so on and so forth.

I love VOIP systems and all the functionality they bring and features I get. 
Unfortunately, the average person in this country anymore is apparently 
completely stupid and cannot understand how to juggle calls without hanging up 
on people.

So seriously does anyone have a recommendation for a good receptionist phone? I 
tried the Snom today and I can't get the programmable buttons to do this, even 
by following the manual. So please, any suggestions would be great, before I 
get fired at my dayjob for everyone else's idiocy.
