I agree that they should provide SIP.

Yeah, but still I can live with that because all the other things make up for that. The only annoying thing I have is the GroupPickup not working. Besides that they do all the SIP version does, and more. > > Given a choice I'd run SIP, if only to have the phones able to talk to > each other and gateways if the PBX dies for any reason. sccp can't do > that -- if you lose the PBX you totally lose all functionality on all > your sccp phones. If you loose the PBX there are more problems. I don't know how the SIP image handles this, but I do know the SCCP image can be configured to failover to a second PBX. That way we can continue everything we do when 1 of our PBX boxes decides to die. As you can see, it all comes down to a matter of personal taste. That's why they should release SIP, just to give you the ability to choose. Coming back to the OP question, the SCCP image gives you a lot more control over the buttons. It involves some altering in a .c file, but there you can specify your layout as you want it. -- Michiel van Baak [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://michiel.vanbaak.info GnuPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x7E0B9A2D "Why is it drug addicts and computer afficionados are both called users?" _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
