[Asterisk-Users] Polycom changing policy - allowing firmware downloads?

[Noah Miller]

I don't know if Polycom decided to change their policy or not, but I 
just went to their website and when you click on the downlooad link, it 
will now present you with an option to join their extranet.  I did that 
and I got the following message immediately:

<snip>
Access to certain Resource Center sections and content are subject to 
approval.
Eligible members, will receive further details via email.

In the follow-up email, it said this:

<snip>
Thank you for becoming a member of the Polycom Resource Center.
User ID: blahblah
Your userid/password will provide you software download, product 
registration, and software key code privileges as well as access to 
product information.  Polycom will continue to increase the content and 
services on its Portal to provide you with knowledge and conveniences.

I tried to do find the SIP firmware, but all I could find were PDF docs 
about it.  Maybe "increase the content" comment means they will post 
them later?

In related news, I thought I was onto something, when I found in the 
release notes that in firmware 1.3.4 the "call.callWaiting.prompt=" was 
implemented.  Unfortunately, this does not disable call waiting as I 
had hoped.  However, it does automatically select a new call when it 
comes in on a "call waiting line".  The result is that you just have to 
press the Answer softkey instead of pressing the down arrow and then 
the answer softkey.  It makes it little easier for those that don't 
feel like dealing with the SetGroup/CheckGroup setup.

Thanks,
Noah
