I don;t know if that matters to you or not. Usually your "internal" (six" line is a 3 or 4 digit number. You alias is used for other things, like getting calls from the telco. When you call in for voicemail you dont REALLY want to put all 10 digits in do you? In either case, the phones have booted, but... Have they registered their lines? Also, did you change the default internal dial plan to 10 digits? *IF* I were you... I'd roll back to 3 or 4 digit internal dialing... but that is me. -- ====================== Tony Graziano, Manager Telephone: 434.984.8430 Fax: 434.984.8431 Email: tgrazi...@myitdepartment.net LAN/Telephony/Security and Control Systems Helpdesk: Telephone: 434.984.8426 Fax: 434.984.8427 Helpdesk Contract Customers: http://www.myitdepartment.net/gethelp/ Why do mathematicians always confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because 31 Oct = 25 Dec.
