I have indeed considered this. They have around 15 extensions. I just don't have the time to develop this device at the moment and if I did I'm not sure how professionally I could package it or how cheap I could make it. Small touch screen displays seem pretty expensive and I haven't looked into whether X supports touchscreens. A small and cheap Via Epia board connected to the network with one of these displays sitting right on top of it would be an awesome device though. In fact I would love to turn something like this into a general phone solution by adding a handset/speakerphone, and putting a soft phone on it (thus making it a hard phone since it is a dedicated hardware device since all voip phones are just software running on a hardware platform anyhow) and sell it as the ultimate flexible voip phone. The only problem is that it would cost way too much unless one built it in volume which isn't likely. Might look kinda hokey too if you just put a touch screen on top of a box and attach a handset and speakers to it. I don't know how people would react if it weren't a curvy looking slick pastic thing. I would really like to see a general purpose phone platform running Linux with a nice touchscreen where I could customize the interface and everything though. Their phone system is still not complete because of this issue. Turned out the Cisco 7914 I originally ordered to do this does not work with the SIP image so I had to send it back and get a Snom 220 which I will use with the hint extenstion etc as described here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+phone+SNOM http://www.mail-archive.com/asterisk-users@lists.digium.com/msg49781.html and hope it works like I expect it to. -- Tracy Reed http://copilotcom.com This message is cryptographically signed for your protection.
