Tried to post a new thread from my phone earlier and Safari apparently does not like this forum. I finally got it to let me start my thread, but the text boxes kept disappearing although the letters I was typing were going into them. I just couldn't see the boxes until I hit "Done". But then it didn't give me a button to hit post so I gave up and waited until I got to my laptop. Is that just me or is that normal?
I don't use Safari...I use a real browser, like Chrome...

back on topic, super cool feature!
People have polar reactions to me. There's really no middle ground. I don't know why...
If reading that made you cringe, welcome to the world I'm going to be entering soon. One of the products here is a Linux based product, and was not originally developed by my company but was bought out by them. Well, I learned from my guys pretty early on why every freaking release breaks something. The reason is straight up lack of QA. The product has its code written for new releases. Then, a script is run against the code to check for typographical errors in the code. Lastly, it's released into the wild. The customers are straight up used as guinea pigs. Inevitably, the new version is released, and a ton of people upgrade, but because it was never actually run and tested for performance issues, etc., we get flooded with calls, after already being backed up from the previous release two to three week earlier.
Also, there is virtually zero documentation, there are a ton of different components and each has a ton of its own, unique issues. When Tier III gets involved, they will often fix it but they NEVER put notes in as to what they did or how they did it. So if I had a case, I can stay the communication owner so that when it gets closed or updated, I get notified. I haven't supported this product yet, but this is what I'm training for right now. Still, it blows my mind that a company can not QA a product at all! Especially one of this size and magnitude...fun fun...

Don't you hate it when you're the last to know...:P
How about a bidding war? I'll do $50k remote from Houston. Signed, sealed, delivered.
I'll match that! But from Dallas!
Haha you can have it, I'll stick to procurement; rather not throw away 7yrs of experience moving into an IT admin position in all reality.
EDIT: If you need a remote supply chain guy...

The Yealink phones have an EHS that works with most headsets.
The little bit higher end ones do. The T40 series do. None of the T20s do though.
It's kind of silly but I thought people might enjoy and also get a chuckle out of a blast from my past. This was actually on the front page, ABOVE the fold when it was actually released. Tracked it down a few years ago and thought I'd share. I should add we were staring into the sun and none of us had any idea we'd won until about two minutes before the picture was taken. I was in third grade at the time.

aj, you and me...we couldn't work together. we can hardly post in the same forum.
I really don't know why. I think I irritate you but really don't know why. I'm not trying to.

For those of us uninitiated, what does EHS stand for - I could Google it, but I'm asking for the others who read this thread in the future as well.
Electronic Hook Switch
It's what allows you to answer hands-free without the HL-10. It's basically the digital version of the HL-10. Nothing physical or analog, besides the cable.

Assuming you have auto-negotiation on, they will still run at FastEthernet speed. However, they handle the volume of traffic better.
Huh? Explain that one.
When you have a full GigE switch, even if the connection speed auto-negotiates down to 10/100, the switches handle the traffic better. I don't know all the exact technical reasons behind it, but it's kind of like how a Ferrari and my Optima both might only be doing 75 on the highway, but the Ferrari is under a lot less strain to do 75 than my Optima. Does that make sense?

Are there generic VOIP phones that don't require the HL-10?
Generally, to use an EHS, you need a Cisco or Avaya phone. However, here is the official compatibility lists.

I am very glad that no one has noticed any performance issues today. I have seen none and no one has mentioned any in any of the threads. But it is very excited to announce that we are experiencing the busiest morning in the site's history. And not just by a little bit. Not only were we very busy last night but our overnight lull was much shorter than usual lasting only three hours and the nighttime dip was still relatively busy, but at 4am Eastern US time our traffic shot to an all time high and has sustained that ever since. We've broken the "hourly" traffic record for MangoLassi already three times today and instead of them being traffic spikes, they are just slightly higher points in a continuous, sustained traffic pattern. The site is holding up well and is incredibly busy!
Woohoo! Team @scottalanmiller and @thanksaj FTW! Jk!

It looks like it's been pruned back to 2 pages
You're right, it has. I hadn't noticed that.

He wants the 15 year ago version of Scott that he can get today for $60 or so.
I was $65K fifteen years ago.
I would take $60k
Seconded.
All I favor? AYE! Motion passes.
