asterisk users - Jun 2003 - Asterisk and Polycom

I am trying to configure Asterisk to use a Polycom SoundPoint IP 500 phone. 
Does anyone know where I can get the software and configuration file for this
phone.  I spoke to Polycom support and they say it's up to the SIP vendor to
provide this.

Yeah, we tested this.  Polycom was a real butt about it too.  They have
sealed some agreements with vendors that sell their phones with their
proprietary systems.  While Polycom admits the phone does "SIP" they
will not disclose any info about configuring it and the vendors phone
systems that configure it have system specific firmware and xml config
files.  So, my take on the Polycom is that they say "SIP" but it is
not
really usable by anything but their partners phone systems.
So my advice is don't waste your time.
