[cisco-voip] 3rd party conference phones

[Ed Leatherman]

Circling around on this thread,

So we're trying out revolabs FLX2.

They are pretty easy to use and have some nice features. The unit reminds
you to put everything back on the charging station after a call is over,
which is an interesting touch.

Main concern for me right now is that you cannot invoke an ad hoc
conference that uses a cm controlled conference bridge (that I can tell)
from the unit. The conference function can merely join the two line
appearances that the unit has.

We're still going to try it out in one of our rooms where the executive
absolutely had to have "wireless" but I don't see widely deploying it
elsewhere; people use the ad hoc bridges an aweful lot.
