Seems like you have a lousy window manager. If a phone is so important
it should be "on top" (or above that).

You ask the users with those fancy keyboard with the extra 20 buttons
not to use one of them for "Answer call"? You ask them to actually get
their hands off the keyboard (and mouse?) to answer a call? How very
productive.

What would it take you to put the right icons on a Cisco phone so the
dumb secretary could understand what they mean? Could you group the
"function" buttons in logical groups?

What would it take you to get a nice Polycom phone but with the big
buttons the old Grandstream Bug-tone has, so that granny can use it?

Or granny[1]. Or maybe a PHB who happens to also have some pretty thick
glasses?

1. Messing your desk in the process.
2. Moving parts. Increases the chance that the wire in the back will
disconnect. Causing you eventually to lose a call. Which we cannot
afford in a F500C.

[1] which happens to be aunt Tilly? Those silly examples make me think
of the Aunt Tilly threads.
