Nope, this isn't needed... I have an IP600 which registers to asterisk
on button 1, another asterisk on button2, a third asterisk on button 3
and then has a buddy/hint/monitoring on buttons 4 and 5 which are
working against the first asterisk on button 1. Finally I have a speed
dial on button 6...

Then again, I've not got this working on a polycom IP 300 as yet...
