[Asterisk-Users] SIP Phones-Receptionist Setup

[Doug Reid - Stormcorp]

The closest we have come to this solution is to use a Cisco 7960 or the
Mitel 5055 with the flash operator panel. It works just as well as having
the buttons light up. We are currently looking at developing a flash panel
for a touch pad, with drag and drop extensions. Hey its a new dawn grow with
the technology.

I have just read again some of the posts in this thread.

The thread started by somebody asking if they could use a SNOM 220 as a
receptionist phone. It has gone on to discuss the use of CTI to implement
these features and to discuss the possibility of making custom hardware
solutions.

Am I missing something- why can't some of the new SIP phones be used for
this? Are they missing some hardware feature?

If we are to start a project to create a receptionist phone why do we not
just take one or two of these and make them work in this way??
