[Asterisk-Users] RE: Asterisk-Users Digest, Vol 12, Issue 171
Clearly that's not the answer I'm looking for. I need a hardware phone for this person. As the following post points out, a software solution is less than ideal for many reasons. Not the least of which is my user does not have a PC (please God, don't suggest that I buy a PC). I need a phone with a busy lamp field. Any suggestions? I'm leaning towards the 7960 + 7914 but I was hoping someone could give me a testimonial. Thanks>>Well I think it's not the right way. Using an external program youwill have a delay on lamp status notification and a >>overloaded server, manager applications are really cpu power expensives.>>The internal asterisk hint system can immediatly notify the busystatus. Better solution.> This may not be the answer you're looking for ... but why not whip upa little program or web application for the >>operator's PC that shows the extension, name, busy status, new voice-mail count, etc? Or you could have it done by a consultant. In the long run, it will probably be less hassle, cheaper, and much more functional than what you're considering.
