[Jessee J Holmes]

I'm not saying Microsoft is the standard (they usually aren't by  
FAR), but how Microsoft handles presence and interoperates with  
presence on various IP phones is what Polycom calls a  
"standard" (guess I should have quoted that word originally).

I believe there is some RFC for presence out there that some people  
consider the "standard"; although, I'm not sure what this is...  
Saying the word standard to me is like saying that someone is  
"normal" ..... there is no such thing. It's normally just something  
that "most" people agree on as a standard. Anyways, some of us here  
at Atacomm are currently arguing with Polycom why they can't make  
their phones support BOTH "methods" of handling presence, we think  
that would be the simplest solution instead of just shutting out some  
of the systems like Asterisk.
