Thanks. Then I know that at least one person has read and understood :-)
(Sorry, but sometimes it feels like being alone out there on the

We do have a lot of support for blinking lamps - for devices,

AOC is a very european thing and I keep shouting about it when

There are a few patches for AOC support in the bug tracker, please
review them. I know SNOM has some proprietary extensions
for AOC, but what's the state on other devices?
