It seems like Freeswitch is a real player in the PC based PBX space. I think the first product in this space that can emulate a key system will take over the space in very short time. Metaswitch, Broadsoft, etc have shared line appearances but none of the smaller systems have it. It must be hard to do, or everyone would be doing it. If Freeswitch could offer the kind of functionality it would take over: A call would come in, via SIP, Zaptel, etc. User answers the call User puts it on hold That line appearance blinks on all the phones Any user presses the button to get the call It would be OK if it only worked with Polycom, or Linksys, or Snom,etc...as long as it worked _every_ time. -Matt
