Should I be dialing "star-eight-pound" or "star-eight" followed by a
callgroup or pickupgroup number?

You suggest setting "pickupgroup" for all the phones.  I've done this
setting the value to 0 thinking that users would be dialing *80 to pickup
ringing calls in group 0.  Where should the "callgroup" settings go?  I
don't have that anywhere.

Seems I'm mixing things up.
