Impressive if they covered a wide range of models.

I first saw this done by Obihai, a manufacturer of analog telephone
adapters (let you use SIP and Google Voice with traditional phones).

They provide a link on their support page to a replicated interactive UI
for the product:

And I have made use of it as a point of reference when discussing
settings with others.

More device companies should do this.
