[Asterisk-Users] Receptionist Phones

[Jerry Jones]

Because we still have to live with - the current - seven only  
limitation.

We have found that training generally results in folks understanding  
how to use a PBX vs a key system

For many years I installed large PBX systems, Rolms, ATT, Nortel, etc  
and often no blf/dss was available, or management did not wish to  
purchase. Users at first were unhappy, but got used to working with  
the PBX. In fact most had to give up key phones with lots of buttons/ 
lights and oonly had a stnadard 2500 set to do everything with.
