how are the BLF and XML features on the snom and yealink? can I say do like I
do on the aastras which is have a Server based Do not disturb? (hit a button
which calls an XML that in turn activates the LED on the set)..
I also like the BLF functionality of aastra in the fact you can do one press
transfers.. the digium phones are a total BUST in this area.. just wonder
how yealink and snom stack up in that respect.

Hi Christopher,
it generally depends on what settings you change, but for non-networking
related changes Yealink and Snom are very nice.
Polycom seems to be very special :-).
