I would prefer not to try to provide a technology solution to a management problem. If your manager says that your phone should ring for 30 seconds, and you reset it to 10, your manager should have other ways of dealing with that than trying to over-ride your settings in sipXconfig. In the example, these are just 2 users - let's not assume anything more than that. As you might have guessed, I think that the forwarding plan in another user should not over-ride mine. I may want my calls to forward very promptly to my cell phone, since I often answer there. > How much work would it be to add a checkbox that acts as an override?

Actually, even aside from the legitimate issue Damian raises regarding how hard this is to explain, it would be hard to implement too. _______________________________________________ sipx-users mailing list [email protected] List Archive: http://list.sipfoundry.org/archive/sipx-users Unsubscribe: http://list.sipfoundry.org/mailman/listinfo/sipx-users sipXecs IP PBX -- http://www.sipfoundry.org/
