Hi Yawl, After about 6 months of prattting about I've convinced my boss that we should be installing * into our currently under constuction Data Center in Somerset NJ. There will be 10 permanent people and DR space for another 50. My plan is as follows; ATAComm dual XEON server with quad T1 board. A handfull of ATA's for fax machines, job lot of X-Pro softphones for the DR bit, Polycom IP conference phone and a bunch of SNOM 200 phones for the permanent staff. Connection to the main office will be via SIP to a Cisco router we already have connected to the main office Lucent PBX. Does this sound like a runner? Comments please. Also, I'm having a problem trying to work out how to configure a group pickup line. I know I can add the "pickupgroup" line in sip.conf but that only allows me to do *8 when someone elses phone rings. What I want to do is have a button on every member phone that lights up when line 5 rings. Then if the call is for Fred rather than me, Fred can press the line 5 button and take the call. This is working on our Lucent currently Thanks folks. -- Mark Phillips, G7LTT/KC2ENI Randolph, NJ http://www.g7ltt.com/
