[Asterisk-Users] A good SIP receptionist phone

[Michael Welter]

>>So seriously does anyone have a recommendation for a good receptionist phone? I tried the Snom today and I can't get the programmable buttons to do this, even by following the manual. So please, any suggestions would be great, before I get fired at my dayjob for everyone else's idiocy.

In a multi-tenant environment, is there a way to display, on the phone, 
which DID (which tenant) is being called?
