asterisk users - Aug 2007 - Polycom question - removing a soft key functionality

Hi,
 
I just enable "presence" on my phones, so that secretaries can see
whether
their bosses are already on a call or not.
 
Unfortunately, this came with the added "benefit" of adding two soft
key
features on the screen, "MyStatus" and "Buddies", which I
want removed (it's
good enough for me that they can see status by looking at the line icon,
this will only confuse them).
 
Second question, can you set up the phone so that this status, which is
shown in the line icons, is also shown in the contact directory?
 
Regards,
 
Mike

I don't know how to keep the MyStatus and Buddies from showing up when
presence
is turned on, but if it helps, you only need to turn it on for phones that
NEED to see
the OTHER peoples presense.  For example, turn presence on for your
secretaries
phones, but not on for the bosses.  At least the Buddies button won't be on
the bosses
phones...

Also, if anyone at Polycom is reading this.  Come on guys!!! Buddies??  I've
got a
corporate environment and my phone shows Buddies???  What is the AOL?

Bill
