<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=843434118-02082006><FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>I would like shared line appearance ability along with MANY
other people too. That feature is only now on the rader screen for
Asterisk but it probably won't be available for some time. Months if not
years (probably not till v1.6 which is after the next version which will be
1.4).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

color=#0000ff size=2>There are alternatives which some people here may
suggest. Unfortunately they require a change in usage and thinking by the
receptionist. You would definitely want to be upfront and give some sort of demo
beforehand IMHO to avoid problems with the client
relationship.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=046061500-02082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've searched

<DIV><SPAN class=046061500-02082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Ability for
their 3 lines to "light-up" a button on the phone when one of them rings
in.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=046061500-02082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>- Ability for the
phone to ring when the receptionist is on one call and a second or third call
is incoming. (this has been the biggest frustration up to now.
When a second call comes, there is no tone that heard on the IP500.
Perhaps I am missing a setting?)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
