T48G Intercom Auto-answer

[cm21]

1) I would really request this feature. The latest firmware supports updating the "BLF" status on an Intercom button (I've tried it), but it doesn't work if a dialing prefix (e.g. *80) is added on. Having the ability to use a prefix that only affects dialing (but not BLF monitoring) would be very useful.
2) As noted, above, the latest firmware includes BLF-capability on "Intercom" buttons. When that is enabled, it seems like the buttons work the same way, just display a different icon. That is all I was asking/confirming.
3) You wrote "the auto-answer feature won't be influenced by the "Allow Intercom" disabled" -- So, what is the "Allow Intercom" setting for? Again, this implies that auto-answer and Intercom are two different things, but I don't know how to make the phone see an incoming call as "Intercom"
4) Yes, I have a headset connected and it works fine for normal calls. But for incoming Intercom calls, I'm trying to make sure they are always answered on Speakerphone (since the person may not be right at his phone), even if the phone has the headset button lit when the call comes in. I'm not clear whether that's the purpose of the features.intercom.headset_prior.enable setting, but I have experimented with that both ways (0 and 1) and it seems to have no effect on how incoming calls are handled that have the Auto-Answer flag. Please clarify.
