not whip up a little program or web application for the operator's PC that shows
the extension, name, busy status, new voice-mail count, etc? Or you could
have it done by a consultant. In the long run, it will probably be less
hassle, cheaper, and much more functional than what you're
considering.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Does anyone have a recommendation
for a good SIP phone with a busy lamp field? I need my operator to be able to
see extension status for about 20 extensions and transfer via HOLD + extension
button. I’ve got a pair of SNOM 360s with the sidecar, but I’m very disappointed
with them. The buttons are cheap and rubbery like a Sipura 841, the handset cord
is short and cheap, the audio quality is not good, the speaker is bad, the
button layout is too busy, and I’ve found it very hard to train my users how to
use.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Has anyone else had the same
experience with the 360s? I’m ready to replace them with anything. I put Polycom
501’s in for everyone else and they are wonderful.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Does the Cisco 7960 + 7914 work well
for such an application? Keep in mind it has to show free/busy status of 20
although I guess we could get by with 14 if the 7960 + 7914 is a solid option.
