asterisk users - Oct 2004 - KSS/BLF on Asterisk

Folks,

I am trying to determine the best way to allow a station to monitor the
status of another station.

For example: 
a reception set needing to see the status of 20 or 30 phones
OR
an executive assistant wanting to have appearances of several other
extensions, in order to monitor their status and assist with call
handling.

I know Snom has a phone that you can attach an add-on module to, but I
don't know how you'd program Asterisk to deliver status information to
those buttons.

I'm also familar with the Flash Operator Panel (love the concept!), but
I want to do this on a phone set, not a terminal.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Jim.

Get a hint! :-)

Check out the "hint" priority in extensions.conf.  There are also some
details in the wiki.
