BTW it is really easy to make a seperate module for the 8100 and share
all code, with any exceptions you want to make.  I did it for the 
VX6000 and VX4400.  Here is how:

com_sanyo4900:
======
class Phone(...):

     protocolclass=p_sanyo4900
     desc="Sanyo 4900"
    
     def calendar(self):
         # whereever you need protocol objects, instantiate them like this
         req=self.protocolclass.calendarentry()
======

p_sanyo8100:
======
%{
# This brings all objects from sanyo4900 into this namespace
from p_sanyo4900 import *
%}

# you can put any overrides here, eg if the calendarentry is
# a different size

PACKET calendarentry:
     99 STRING description
======

com_sanyo8100:
======
class Phone(com_sanyo4900.Phone):

     protocolclass=p_sanyo8100
     desc="Sanyo 8100"
     def __init__(self):
         com_sanyo4900.Phone.__init__(self)
=======

The above will let you have seperate files for the phones, but share
all the code except whatever you decide to override.  It also means
the user will see the correct phone model in any log messages.
