[Asterisk-Users] Progress on the Polycom front...

[mattf]

I think you're being a bit overly optimistic, but who knows. What we have
been trying to achieve with Polycom was:

- to be an approved platform for their VOIP phones
- to receive all technical documents and software files for these phones
- to have Polycom direct customers calling them about using their phones
with Asterisk to go to a Asterisk-Polycom website for resources to set up
their phones
- to have a technical contact that we can bring up issues, ask about
advanced features and communicate bugs to
- to be in on the primary testing phases of new Polycom VOIP equipment and
software
- to have at least one authorized Asterisk-friendly Polycom reseller

They have been very interested in working with us and who knows, in the
future we may be able to have an AIX2 firmware load for one of their phones
if the demand is there. They have made phones with SIP, MGCP, H323 and
Skinny protocols so they may be open to AIX2.

So, not to rain on any other parades here, but is this an effort to 
install IAX2 into Polycomm IP 500 shell phones?  Or am I being overly 
optimistic?
