But in a large office there may be more than one phone ringing at a given 
time. It's important that the person picking up the call can specify which 
phone they want to answer.

If the magic number were *74100 for someone to pick up ringing extension
4100, 
then that would be fine, however if *7 can pick up 4100, 4101 or 4102, 
whichever happen to be ringing at the time, that's not the feature we need.


Thanks,


Antony.
