Well, of course if you want to monitor all lines in a call center, you 
will certainly have some problems. But in small environments this is 
working.

The ISDN PBX in our company building does the following:
- some phones in the office area are monitor phones for a range of 
   numbers (about 5);
- now one of these numbers are called:
   1. the phone with this number rings;
   2. if the call is not answered after a short time, a light (phone 
      layout is similiar to the Snom phones) begins to blink at the 
      monitor phones; caller ID and the target number are displayed; if 
      you press the button next to the blinking light, you pick-up the 
      call;
   3. still a little time later the monitor phones are additionally 
      ringing, but you still have to press the button to pick-up the call;
- and while others without monitor phones may see that a line is 
   ringing/busy, they are not allowed to take the call;

Any plans of getting rid of the building PBX shared by other companys as 
well and replacing it with Asterix (a wish to gain more independance) are 
not allowed in presenting fewer features. Those are the guidelines, now 
I’m testing.  If I can’t implement the old behaviour close enough, I will 
probably have to look at other solutions.

Shade and sweet water!
