The softbutton problem sounds like a really old firmware...
Softbuttons are controller by the channel. They have functions like DND,
newCall, EndCall, etc... The line buttons can be configured as
speeddials which can use the asterisk hint system for status monitoring.
The sample config shows how.
I also suggest, you browse the mailinglist archives at

7960? Nope... 7970 has.
