Err System Y ? System X is a Marconi switch, I didn't think they made a
Y variant, but hey maybe they do.

It's almost certainly set-up in the BT end. Usually you can only set
your CLI to a number or range of numbers that have been allocated to the
line. If BT have set the line to only allow a single number, that's all
you'll ever get. Speak to someone knowledgable if you can at BT or
report it as a fault.
