I think people are getting confused.

I take it that Mark is referring to a "hot keypad" functionality. If
you want to make a call, you don't pickup the handset, you don't press
newcall, you don't press speaker - you simply start dialing the number
you want.

This feature is standard on some PBXs.

The 7940/7960 SIP firmware does *NOT* have this functionality. The
7940/7960 Skinny firmware does.

Some other Cisco phones with SIP do have this functionality, such as the 7905.

As for other types of phones; the Grandstream phones don't, but apart
from 2 Grandstream phones, everything here is Cisco so I'm not sure
about other types.
