[Asterisk-Users] RE: Asterisk-Users Digest, Vol 12, Issue 171

Clearly that's not the answer I'm looking for. I need a hardware phone
for this person. As the following post points out, a software solution
is less than ideal for many reasons. Not the least of which is my user
does not have a PC (please God, don't suggest that I buy a PC).

I need a phone with a busy lamp field. Any suggestions? I'm leaning
towards the 7960 + 7914 but I was hoping someone could give me a
testimonial.

Thanks

a little program or web application for the >>operator's PC that shows
the extension, name, busy status, new voice-mail count, etc?  Or you
could have it done by a consultant.  In the long run, it will probably
be less hassle, cheaper, and much more functional than what you're
considering.
