I am currently having the same problem with our receptionist.  We use 
7960's, which I really like.  The problem with it is that when you are 
trying to manage 6 lines with it, it has a tendancy to make you mess 
up.  Example, you are talking on line 3 and about to transfer the call 
or put them hold when line 4 rings.  The SIP image will move to line 4 
and you inadvertantly answer line 4 instead of transfering line 3.  It 
would be nice if it would stay on the current button and let you select 
the line you want as opposed to it just jumping around to whatever the 
newest call happens to be.  The Skinny image was a little better in this 
respect.
