[VoiceOps] Key System Using Polycom VVX

[Peter Rad.]

Key system emulation with paging, door buzzers and/or shared line 
appearance are a BITCH on most any hosted platform.    Add in the 
Polycom VVX's, which are not super stable yet, and you have a 
dissatisfied customer.

I agree with the MITEL/Aastra suggestion of the AstraLink 160
