[Asterisk-Users] Extension availabilty

[Mojo with Horan & Company, LLC]

I have had good luck with a php-based status webpage.  My users don't 
mind having a page up in their browser.  If you were to use Soundpoint 
IP600s, this dynamic page could be shown on the phone, which IMO would 
be great unless you had lots of users to monitor.

Also, the polycom soundpoint line of phones use SIP PRESENCE messages to 
show 'buddy' status.  This works pretty well most of the time but I'm 
sure it can only get better over time.
