Senad,

	I have yet to take a real hard look or contact Zoa, but if all you are 
doing is calling an extension (very rapidly and many, many times) it 
really would not be very hard to test queues, music on hold, meetme, 
etc.  I am downloading the callgenerator from astertest.com right now...

	The most realistic test is to (obviously) register as many phones as 
possible and hire hundreds of people to talk on them... :)
