Can anyone explain the Polycom Text Messaging features built in to the IP 500/600? Can Asterisk (or something else) talk to it? I've seen vague references to MSN Messenger, and somehow that's mentally disturbing.

It is based on SIP so it can communicate with other SIP devices which have instant messages capabilities such as Xten's Eyebeam or Windows Messenger (5.1 not MSN). I do not think it will work with Asterisk since Asterisk does not support IM as far as I know. It would work with SER just fine though.

There is a really good article in this months months Von magazine on page 26 about why asterisk will need to adopt sip extensions for Microsoft messenger. I'd post here but you don't accept images. But worth reading.

The LCS 2005 client will also have SIP support.

The idea behind this is that web services will be able to 'message you' through a number of devices, your handset being one of them. For example outlook may want to send you a sip message via the exchange server, via asterisk to your handset that your 2pm meeting is 10 minutes away. (I've got some ideas for cooler apps but this is an easy one to explain) So Asterisk needs to move to be able to accept these messages.
