asterisk users - Jan 2006 - Signaling the status of the line on the phone

Hello everybody,

Do you know if it's possible to push the status of an extension (a 
phone) to a phone like blinking a light on the phone ? And do you know 
wich brand of phone can do this ?
I'd like to make the same as the secretary phones that can see the 
status of lines before putting a call on it or transfering someone to. 
As i know that the Flash Operator Panel get the global status of 
Asterisk, it should be possible.
If you have some pointers about that feature ...

Thanks a lot.

We use Snom phones for the BLF function as you are suggesting and it
works great.  The Grandstream GXP-2000 with the beta firmware supports
this as well but I hear its a bit buggy.  The snom phones are nice
because depending on the size of the office you can add an additional
side cart with many more lights as well.
