I am using Cisco 7960 phones and have had a request to have the receptionist phone ring on multiple phones just in case she is not around. Call pickup is the theory here but the issue is that not all the people that need to hear the ring would here the receptionist phone ring so I think I need to have a second line appearance on the phones in question so that line will ring. Can this be done

Hello, I'm trying to make a lattice plot (using xyplot()). I have included a "layout=c(3,4)" statement, giving me 12 plots per page and an "as.table=TRUE" statement, directing the way the plots are laid out.
