Hi Steve,
The 2X is listed in my page (www.usit.com/omnip).
Is that the one you are looking at ?
All phones must be fed thru the MLM (at some point).

The RSA is only supported (by ECS) for Caller-ID, though
you could probably talk to it "directly" via Events if
you wanted to do more (I could give you some pointers
on how to do this). I think it does local DTMF/pickup/
hangup, but I am not sure.

Later...
