asterisk users - Apr 2005 - Distinctive ring on BT100

Hello,

Is it possible to make BT100 phones ring in different ways based on where
the call is coming from?

The general idea is that I need the BT100 ring in 2 different ways depending
on whether the call come from Zap1 or Zap2.  

It's because this system is for a receptionist answering two different phone
lines for two separate companies and she needs to know how to greet the
person on the other side ... one way that could be useful for her to
recognize which line is ringing is by having a different ring tone for each.

If BT100 cannot do it .. which phone can?  Or is there some alternative way
of helping the receptionist in this situation distinguish between the two
lines? (Flash Operator Panel would not work well since she would not have it
on all the time)

Thanks,
Tomas

You can only set 1 distinctive ring if by caller id.  There is a tool on the 
website to record custom ring tone.
