The @ip-address is actually a documented cisco "fix" to another problem. 
I'd have to look it up, cause I don't remember exactly what it was, but 
it's been on the list somewhere, and I think EVERYONE that's used 8.2 has 
the same problem with the firmware.  I would suggest using 7.4 or 7.5.

The directory on the Cisco's doesn't link up at all with the phone, other 
than allowing you to dial the numbers, or save numbers from your missed 
call list.  There's a lot of stuff Cisco crippled in the SIP version of 
the firmware that's kinda like "uh, what were you thinking?"
