I did a similar thing for a client last week. Newer versions of the GXP2000
firmware allow up to 4 accounts, so I've defined separate sip.conf entries
for internal vs. external calls. So, for example, a user might be 211
internally, and 211a externally. Set "account 2" to register as 211a and
modify your queue handling external calls (or however you do it) to include
SIP/211a as a member rather than 211.

Then use the phone's web config to assign a different ringtone to accounts 1
and 2.

It's a bit of a kludge, but it does work, and seems to be reliable.

Regards,

Chris
