Having a dummy extension ring sounds like a great idea, but I'm not sure how to implement it. Can it ring the console if there's no soundcard on the server? Already ran into an issue with not having a soundcard with ztmonitor, but was able to work around that. Is there another way to create a dummy extension? If not, I have a couple old sip boxes not in use (they don't support callerid with sip firmware, so they're just doorstops now). Guess I could set one of those up.
