Hi Motty,
I'm assuming that you're forwarding calls unconditionally, yes ?

I haven't tested it for a while, but, I'm pretty sure that if
your PBX is not told to ring a device before forwarding the call, it
should not do so.
I do recall having worked in  a non-PBX office , and when we
performed CFWD, the local phone would ring once and then get
forwarded, but, that's because the local phone never took control
of the call coming from the carrier. In your case , the PBX can
take over the call, never produce a ring , and then dial the CFWD
number. I guess a trace of this instance can be useful .
