</div>I've deployed a few Grandstream phones with a single button-box. The box<br>
has 56 additional keys to the 7 on the GXP2000. It can support a 2nd box<br>
connected in to give 119 BLF buttons/speed-dials.<br>
<br>
BLF was flakey in early Grandstreams, but seems to work fine for me in<br>
these systems - but I know Grandstream gets a bad rap by many these days,<br>
but it's not too expensive for a trial.<br>
