That is a directed call pickup.  I haven't been able to accomplish this yet.
It is next on my list of try to do's.

Well I dont want it to operate as a group. I understand that it is *8 on
most PBX systems but I would like it to work as dialing
*8+extension-thats-ringing to have it go over to my extension. I am having a
lot of trouble finding more information from the wiki and google.

Thanks!
