Actually you can do this even with Zap interfaces (standard phones) -- it'll 
take some extensions logic and some DB work but it should be fairly 
straightforward to create a followme-type of system where you sign in to the 
nearest phone to you...

off-the-cuff feature list would include
- periodic callbacks to ensure you are still there... i.e. every hour the 
system calls the extension you are logged in to and plays "press 1 if you're 
still here" -- ultimate would be to combine multiple users into one call... 
"user andrew -- press 1 if you're still here.  User Mary... press 2... etc."
- integrate with the BTP (Bluetooth Presence) idea from months ago to make it 
more automatic.

Hmm this is a really neat idea; something that would really go over well where 
I work.  :-)

I wonder if it would be more worthwhile having an agent queue for each user 
instead and simply use the existing logic?
