Will,
I believe they started doing this in 5.0a. You can absolutely take
multiple Auto Attendant Options or Extensions into one inbox with ease
within a few clicks and drop down menus. I believe i left you some
options on another post a few minutes ago. Take a look at your options
with AltiGen. Dont switch systems or invest in something else without
taking advantage of what you have right now!
