Really?? What if you happen to be the 4th person calling, and need to
inform them that you are trapped in the stationary cupboard, and luckily
you were carrying the cordless handset (but not your mobile phone)??

At the end of the day, I wouldn't expect any office to have a 1:1 ratio
between users:phone lines, but there must be some ratio which would make
some sort of sense....

Also, it was a bit of a 'heads-up' for those people that thought they
had 'solved' the problem by dropping a single phone line in, or plugging
a 'red' phone into the fax line, or some-such....

So, any useful comments... please post them.

Regards,
Adam
