The auto answer part of this is just too cool!  You don't have to put
the phone on the hook and parking, you don't have to worry about
answering or fumbling around and hanging up on the callback, or
anything.  If you have the handset in your hands, it calls back, plays
the number in your ear and it's done.  If you're on speakerphone, it
calls back and plays the number and it's done.  Almost as good as
parking using chan_sccp with the Cisco (it also displays the parking
spot on the park... hmmm...  that could possibly be done...).

On my phones, when I press park, I have to press a number (any number
works) and then press park again.  Is this the case for everyone else,
or am I missing something?  Not a big deal, just seems odd.
