Hi James,

Now, I want to setup my system so that a user at an extension can start a recording on demand.  I have tried various Google searches, but am coming up empty.  Could someone point me in the right direction, or have some sample Polycom/Asterisk configuration files I can look at?  Ideally, I would like this to just be programmed to a soft key on the IP501.

You could also take a look at features.conf, and use ** for blind 
transfers, ## for attended transfers, *0 for recording, and *1 to hangup.

I haven't tried mapping them to polycom buttons, but there was recently 
a discussion about that, just this week you can search the archives.
