[asterisk-users] Receptionist Extension cannot be Pickup()'ed

[Cassius Smith]

<top posting on purpose>
I neglected to say ­ all the extensions can be picked up remotely by the
other endpoints, EXCEPT the receptionist phone x3100. When calls go to that
station, they cannot be picked up. Sorry for the necessity to post twice.
