Hi John, Funny you should mention this as I talked with Tilghman the other morning pining for just this capability. Suffer me a minute. My home system is *; each phone is its own extension. My five year old son is much quicker than I at getting to the phone (no I am not toting a [EMAIL PROTECTED] cordless around with me). When he answers a call, _he_ has the call! It'll probably be a few years before he understands transferring the call to the conference room or parking the call and giving us the park number :) _I_ need to be able to snipe (to borrow the eBay term) the call from my son - er, a given channel. So far, we haven't had any major calamities. Five year olds are great for dealing with telemarketing (long ago fodder for comedians).
