Why can mutilple zones not be done?????????????????????, why do I need
a sip device at all for the paging? any of the follwing (and I'm sure

* PC Sound Card
* Digum hardware
* any type of ata type gateway (SIP/h323 or whatever else that will
interface with an analog port), even one without auto answer
