Andreas, thanks for the reply. Seems like unless you are dealing with one
manufacturer and phone system, it can get a little hairy. I will keep
digging and see if it's a viable project.
By the way, most of the links on your site that link to Microsoft have
changed. If I do a search, I can find the referenced pages, but the links
are broken.
Thanks again.
Brent
