Yeah, I gather they're a bit touchy to program.  We need ours all the
same way, and have a script that Matt wrote to put them there.

As for CNID, I wouldn't know; I dont need it, and therefore haven't
tried.  IME, though, analog hotel phones don't have displays anyway.

Yeah, Adtran builds good stuff.  I hear decent things about the Adit's,
as well; they're certainly all pretty and modular...

Challenge/response is a nice idea for that; I hear the Adit's are a
bear to break into.
