Yes, this equivilancy or ringdown or call-forward-busy is pretty standard on any kind of business line. You simply tell your POTS provider that 555-1234 is to ring down to 555-1235 and that 555-1235 is to ring down to 555-8647, which is your DID at Unlimitel. Now where you may run into trouble is if your Unlimitel DID is not local to your POTS lines, and I've heard of (but never personally seen) instances of where they would not forward to numbers outside of their local switch. I suspect some hunting around and question-asking is needed to fully define that particular case. > I have heard of using a Single number reach service from bell to do > forwarding tricks, anyone tried that ? Nah, never used it. I give people my Unlimitel DID and let Asterisk do it for me. :-) -A.
