<DIV>Although I've never tested such feature on those devices, I
know<BR> that it was only enabled in a recent firmware (6.1.3a/6.1.5a
?).<BR><BR> Are you running it ?<BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Appearently, the latest firmware for SPA9x1 is
5.1.8, the SPA9x1 is not receiving the 5.2. and 6.1 firmware.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There is a somewhat heated discussion here, which I
unfortunately didn't read before ordering.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>SPA9X1 are our entry-level business IP Phones. Their feature set will not
evolve (no new features are expected on this series) from what's existing today
(5.1.8). For LDAP and other features we recommend the SPA9X2 product family,
which is our mainstream SIP Small Business IP phones family.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I am still thinking this i a "political" decision,
and the SPA9x1 would be able to support the BLF etc features.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Reminds me of a rumour that an upgrade to some
photocopiers to offer more features, costing several k$, were simply a
technician cutting a jumper; the hardware were already ready.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>But I'm not ready to try forcing a SPA9x2-software
into a SPA941.</FONT></DIV>
