[Asterisk-Users] Intercom with Cisco SIP 796x phones?

What about the option of auto-answer that is available on Cisco 7960
version 5.x? Could you not setup a second line instance on the phone and
set that line instance to auto answer?

BTXML support for client applications is necessary to achieve this. The
SIP images state that they support BTXML; however, they only use it for
their internal screens and internal navigation. CMXML is the only
language supported for client applications with the SIP loads currently.
A little bird at Cisco told me that a future version of the SIP loads
will support BTXML client applications. (and a less reliable bird told
me that the next version of call mangler will be SIP-based)

This will support all of the good stuff I really want to be able to do
with this phone. For instance, we could forward a URL with the call to a
BTXML app that causes the phone to display extended information about
the caller, or the voicemail Services button could show the users a menu
of their voicemails and choosing one would play the message directly
over the speaker. Also, intercom would be supported. All this is
documented in the BTXML guide and ready to go whenever they "open it
up"..

I suppose it might also be possible to find an "exploit" in the current
firmware that causes the phone to execute some BTXML from a remote
location.. we might be able to get in that way, too :)
