BTW - since you originally started a thread over on the VoIP newsgroup,
I re-added it....

Since you have the Linksys SPA942 phone, and are using 2 lines,
can't each phone somehow show the "presence" of the 2 lines from the hosting
service ?
In other words, can each phone have their 1st and 2nd lines show each of the
2 lines ?

Thanks for the info. Vocalocity said no to the presence of both instances
on the same phone but I don't see why not. I don't quite understand the
programming of the SPA942 phones and Lines and Extensions but going to work
on it. If Vocalocity don't want to help then I will find another provider.
