[cisco-voip] CM Admin AXL - question about updatePhone/Lines

[Ed Leatherman]

Unfortunately there is no way to update the "line appearance" settings
from that element in AXL, at least that I can see. Items such as
display name, external phone number mask, max calls/busy trigger, etc.
look like they can only be altered as children of the <updatePhone>
tag.

I'm looking at just using SQL instead, just getting started digging up
the data dictionary and figuring out the tables i'm interested in.
