I have a Siemens Gigaset S100 DECT cordless phone connected to an ATA 186.
All the features are functional: MWI, CallerID(both name and number passed
by Asterisk), CallWaiting and so on.
The only thing that does not work (an I thing that some changes in
callerid.c file have to be done) is the CallWaiting CallerID (it displays
just 'Unknown", but you can hear the CallWaiting signal.

I'm very happy overall with this phone.

BR,
Dan
