[asterisk-users] best way for night ringer??

[Lutgring, Sam]

I have mine set up to ring a group of designated phones.  Each one of
those phones has a dedicated line button that subscribes to their
particular account in the group.  This way when the phone rings the user
KNOWS that it is the main building number that is ringing.

Asterisk 1.2.13

I am trying to figure out the best way for a night bell at work.
Note: I have no spare buttons available on the phones. But I do have two
lines and two park positions as buttons.

Option 1 (easiest and the one I just implemented)
        When asterisk is in night mode,
        Connect to IVR,
        List all options and then if they dial 0 or timeout, ring every
phone in the building.

Option 2 (This would require user training)
        When asterisk is in night mode,
        List all options and then if they dial 0 or timeout, ring an
analog ringer and have a pickup code to grab the line.
        I am not sure that I can even do directed pickup on asterisk
1.2.13

Option 3 (I believe this is best, but am not sure where to start)
        When asterisk is in night mode,
        List all options and then if they dial 0 or timeout, park the
call, then overhead page a record stating that there
                is a call that needs to be picked up on line 5401.
        They already have a button (with BLF) for 5401.

How are others handling night calls when there is no receptionist
available.
