[Steve Langstaff]

Are you starting from scratch, or do you already have a phone system that does some/all of this?

Hello.

I'm looking for some guidance from people that either have/use or install 
asterisk business systems.

What is the best, mid-range multi-line and extension business type SIP 
hardphone, with all the important options functional.

I'm looking for something that can do this (or most of it):-

1)	Full duplex
2)	2-line, 16 character (or similar) display
3)	about 4 line keys or keys that can be programmed as line keys
4)	12 extension keys or keys that can be programmed as extension keys
5)	Mute key
6)	Ringer volume key
7)	Handset volume key
8)	Speaker volume control
9)	Buttons that light (green when you are using the line), red someone else 
using the line
10)	TRAN (transfer)
11)	FEAT (Feature - send code) - used when exceed the number or programmed 
buttons
12)	HOLD/DND


Some of the asterisk features I am looking for (I'll try and expand this later 
and probably add to wiki):-

a)	All ring hunt group - ring all stations simultaneously
b)	Alpha-nunerically speed dial by name - 
c)	ANI/CID - Automatic Number Indentification/Caller ID
d)	CID number storage
	i)	Abandon call storage - abandoned calls
	ii)	All call storage
e)	Call forwarding/CF
	i)	Fixed CF- internal extension single number or sequence
	ii)	Flexible CF- to internal or external, e.g. extensions to cellphone, 
external to VM
	iii)	Remote CF - int or ext to ext number
f)	Conversation Recording - with announce or required tone
g)	Direct inward line - ext line ring assigned extensions with selectable ring 
tones
h)	External paging - one or multiple zones
i)	internal paging - broadcast via assigned extensions
j)	Group monitoring - enable/disable by extension
k)	Master hunt group - multiple groups
	i)	terminal - starts at first extension in group
	ii)	Distributed - starts from the last called extension
l)	Music on hold
