If you were Registered and logged in, you could reply and use other advanced thread options 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.
