I'll have to check that, I guess - find out what they're set as!

True, I've used bare Asterisk at home for my small get up, but A at H just does
everything we need it to do here at the office (including the "nice and pretty"
call log side of things that AMP provides!)

It does actually sound okay when we ring someone else, but when it rings, it has
the long single american style ring. I've come across a few places that claim
its built into the Grandstream and I'd have to create and upload a new one..
but I've also found others that say to edit various config files, which has had
no effect (indications.conf and zaptel.conf both have the zone as uk.. Theres
nowhere else it needs to be set, is there?).
