Hi everyone, I want to get multiple DDI's and hunting across those DDI's in case one of the lines is busy using analog phone lines. The system is for a large house so I want 3 x PSTN lines. 3 x DDI's and the ability for those DDI's to be presented across all three PSTN lines. BT say you can't have more than one DDI number associated with a PSTN line and that you can't hunt across analog lines. (I'm not sure if hunt is the right term what I mean is the ability for an inbound call to be passed from one line to another if a line is busy) Surely this is possible. I've had a good old hunt about the internet and found Feature Lines (again from BT) these appear to do most of what I want except multiple DDI. Does this sound like what I need? Surely there is a way to do this and I either don't know what I'm asking for or I'm being thick. Cheers Matt

Matt - Your only tidy solution is to go for 1 ISDN line with some MSNs and an analogue line. You will have to have an analogue line for ADSL anyway.. You will not get what you want on analogue lines.

Drat! - The problem is we aren't on a digital exchange. We can't even get DSL here. :-(> Matt - > Your only tidy solution is to go for 1 ISDN line with some MSNs and an analogue line.

BT call it Auxiliary working. Take a look at this page: http://www.aaisp.net.uk/aa/twolines.html It's not something they often do on home lines so be prepared for sales staff who don't know what they are talking about. DDI on analog lines is more complicated and I believe there is a set-up charge of over ?1000 (see http://www.serviceview.bt.com/list/current/docs/Exch_Lines.boo/1228.htm ) If you must have multiple numbers you'd be better off with an isdn line. regards, -- Julien
