Hello,

I must say that I have succeeded in working with DEVSTATE to get a
BLF-light in several colors. Which works great for what I want. Thank
you for the feedback.


Do you think it is also possible to get info displayed on the screen of
the IP-phone ? Any idea how that would work ? Something tells me that
this will depend on the brand/type of IP-phone.


Kind regards,
Jonas.
