Join the club,
I would like shared line appearance ability along with MANY
other people too. That feature is only now on the rader screen for
Asterisk but it probably won't be available for some time. Months if not
years (probably not till v1.6 which is after the next version which will be
1.4).
There are alternatives which some people here may
suggest. Unfortunately they require a change in usage and thinking by the
receptionist. You would definitely want to be upfront and give some sort of demo
beforehand IMHO to avoid problems with the client
relationship.
My 2 cents.

Subject: [asterisk-users] VOIP phone for Receptionist useI've searched through the newsgroup and online and haven't found an answer for my question... maybe I am looking for the wrong terms, I am not sure...I have a client that would like a phone that is like a "typical" receptionists phone.Requirements:- Ability for their 3 lines to "light-up" a button on the phone when one of them rings in.- Ability for the phone to ring when the receptionist is on one call and a second or third call is incoming. (this has been the biggest frustration up to now. When a second call comes, there is no tone that heard on the IP500. Perhaps I am missing a setting?)We are currently using:Asterisk @ Home 2.1Polycom IP500/501 phonesIs there a way to do what we need to using the IP500 phones? If so, can anyone give me instructions on how to make it work with [EMAIL PROTECTED]?Thanks for your help in advance.Jeff
