[cisco-voip] Second Button on 7940

[Matthew Saskin]

It's pretty straight-forward to do what Lelio suggested as a phone 
service.  I've got a boatload of 7941's deployed currently, maybe it's 
worth my time to take an hour or two and cobble together a service like 
this.  If I've got some free time to get it done I'll put the source 
code online somewhere.
