color=#0000ff size=2>I agree with Russel that vendor specific things should be
the exception. The RFC was not written for features like call pickup, and the
way snom interpreted it years ago (even my snom 100 already supported dialog
state!) was just because we wanted to avoid additional provisioning. If there
should be something in the snom phones that needs to be done, then we can take a
look into this. Looking at the ticket, it seems to be simple.

<DIV>The response on that issue from Russell is the kind of response that
really ticks me off. No, no, no, we don't want any real features that
users want, we want basic, boring features. Asterisk is a call center
system, not for regular, everyday business users.</DIV>

<DIV>It could be so much more, though...</DIV>

<DIV>Works great as an advanced IVR as a front end to a real phone system,
though.</DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>While his basic point makes sense (we want
to get away from channel specific implementation stuff) what he seems to be

non-SIP channels, since the Snom phones don't support any technology
