 From an earlier thread (9/21/05) Kevin Fleming said:

"The only issue today with displaying hint status is an artificial limit 
of eight (8) 'buddies' in the Contact Directory to watch. Once Polycom 
has released the final firmware for the phone with support for a larger 
number of watched contacts, the expansion module will be fully usable 
with Asterisk."

My 601/expansion module only allows me 7 buddies.

I don't know when Polycom will update the firmware.  I am going to 
contact my supplier and see if they can find out.  I'll post my results.

Cheers,
Kevin
