Mike, That is a good test, because it should work if all the settings are correct (you have to find that class of service setting that allows forwarding off premise, or co to co, or whatever it's called) And there may be other settings needed in the TD500 that us little guys may not be aware of.
Also, the reason we prefer using a single line analog port is that you can unplug the phone and the calls will still forward. I'm not sure they will do that if you forward a digital phone. good luck charles ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Frederick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "KXTD List (E-mail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 01, 2002 1:00 PM Subject: KX-T: Q: TD500 extension forwarding a call to an outside number > All, > > Several of you answered my last posting with "Setup an extension with > forwarding to an external number".
