Hi Bruce, Simon et al,
This solution, using the LOCAL channel works perfectly. Now everyone will
receive their calls regardless of which phoneset they are near.
thanks again for the help.

Bellcore-drx definition it would be easy. But with a mix of different
brands/models, each requiring a different Bellcore-drx to invoke the desired
distinctive ring, It appears impossible to set them up to ring simultaneiously
with the same distinctive ring regardless of the phoneset brand/model.
