helpful...thanks!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=402251515-30102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>1) Did
you get the call parking issue figured out? From what I could tell from
the post it works by pressing #700 (assuming thats your parking extension), but
not by pressing the transfer button on the phone?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=402251515-30102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>2) Is
there any other feature of the phone that doesn't work for
you?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=402251515-30102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>3) You
mention in your post that you got the phone for $265 (assuming US $). Is
it possible to tell me where? The best I've seen so far is
$395.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=402251515-30102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>4)
Does the phone work out of the box, or did it require you to flash the
phones firmware to get it to work with Asterisk?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=402251515-30102003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I like
the looks of the Polycom phone and am considering either this a Cisco 7960 or
Snom 200 for my SOHO desk set.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

only have experience with the IP600 which is SIP only, IP500 is supposedly
capable of SIP but you would need to get the firmware from Polycom. I am in
the process of trying to sign up for their developer program, but it is a
SLOOOW process. I do have the firmware for the IP600 but it is anyone's guess
that it would work with the IP500 and I wouldn't want you to ruin your phone
trying. The IP600 is a great phone with lots of great features and a good
design. Let us know if you get it working. I'll let you know if I get a copy
of the IP500 SIP firmware.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
