Hi Ronald,



I will try to answer all your questions:



1. The help system is not up-to-date - The release notes on the web site 
are.

2. That's seems like a bug, I will investigate.

3. Have you got a button on the panel? (But with no text on it)?

4. The shared extension file can be used if you place an XML file on a 
network drive, and all client point to that file. The file will be read 
every time IPS is started. It's a good way to share extensions among a lot 
of users

5. I misunderstood you. I see the problem; you have to type the number in 
the name column and the name in the callerid column (I admit that that is 
not clear).

6. The Queues/agents pages just show the status of your Asterisk configured 
Queues/Agents

7. Calls are logging your incoming and outgoing calls (forever) you can 
delete if the list gets to long. I will look at the sorting issue.

8. I am using Whidbey.NET and I am still to work out how that is done, I 
know it's very annoying to have to remove before you can install.





I wan to thank you for all your comment; it's very useful for me.



Regards

Thorben
