Hi Vieri, regarding your combination of analog phones and ATAs I would look for the auto-dial functionality in the ATA. I am pretty sure I saw it in one web-interface or the other, but surely not all vendors implement that kind of functionality. In your place I would also think about using a one-press pickup code, like "#". I know this code is often in use for transfer or the like, but if pickup is the 95%+ action then transfer doing "*#" instead of "#" (or whatever) might be reasonable. This would reduce "pickup" to lifting the handset and pressing the bottom left-most key, which can be done without looking at the keypad. One last idea: Perhaps your multi port ATA supports different kind of ring codes (once short, twice short, no idea whatever) one of which will _not_ ring the phones (which could interpret that signal meant as a "short ring" as "line noise" or the like). Perhaps they even support "silent ringing", not sending the ring signal at all, but nevertheless answering the line if hook-up happens. Best regards Anselm
