asterisk users - Sep 2004 - Uniden UIP 200

I just purchased 30 of these after testing one for a few months and would like
to quickly purchase another 40.

We really like these phones: good sound quality, good echo control (no echo in
speaker phone), power over ethernet support, 10/100 switch, 8 programmable keys.

Unfortunately we missed on big problem with Call waiting in our testing. When
using asterisk 0.9.1 or rc2 the phone will reboot when you hit the flash button
to roll over to the second call. 

Counter to what I have read in the wiki, turning of call waiting support in the
phone seems to prevent the lockup/reboot, but limits the phone's
functionality
in several ways. Primarily it is impossible to make an outbound call and then
use the flash button to initiate a transfer to another phone.

Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Secondly if I want to be able to do flash transfers with the phone, but not be
bothered with having call waiting buzz in my ear is there a way to configure
asterisk to make this happen?

We were experiencing random uip200 rebooting after upgrading the phone 
firmware.  It usually happened when dialing.

Uniden suggested using the 'Factory Reset' menu option on the phones. 
This did eliminate the phone rebooting we were seeing.

There is no 'call waiting on/off' switch in *.  You can, however, use 
logic to ensure that * never sends a call to a phone that is in-use.

There are several ways to do this.  An easy way is to implement 
SetGroup/CheckGroup in the dialplan:
