[asterisk-biz] Easy programmable phone

[Andrew Latham]

All of the Polycom phones are the same.  This Cisco 79XX will allow
you to configure them but it is not as easy as it could be. A few of
the Aastra phones had a fair interface for testing but I admit I have
not used them in at least 2 years...
