No it doesn't there's a universal (?) standard for this - hit recall, dial new 
number.  Heck it even works on PSTN lines if you pay for the right services.

Gransteams are *not* cheap.  They're 2-3 times more expensive than analog phones.

I'm investigating VOIP for my boss (who would rather train everyone on MSN 
Messenger but some people want a 'real' phone to talk with).  If I were to 
spec anything more expensive than a Granstream it'd blow out the entire 
upgrade budget just on the phones!  However I'm currently looking at the 
feasability of keeping the analog system and having some kind of 
analog/digital interface (if it can be done for less than £10/line then that's 
the answer).
