Michael,
    I used some Pingtel phones with * and ended up having to scrap 
them.  Pingtel assured that they would work with * but when they didn't, 
they put it all off on Asterisk.  They also didn't seem to be interested 
in getting them to work.  In my opinion they were dishonest with through 
the whole deal and I wouldn't recommend doing business with them or 
using that phone.  One persistent issue is that the phone would lock up 
if you had more that 2 calls even though they said it could handle 11 
simultaneous calls.   I talked to at least one other user who had the 
same issues.  Everything was fine in the lab, but upon roll out the 
phones didn't work right.
