<P>Hi Sean | Bill</P>
<P>Thanks again for the quick responses, much appreciated.</P>
<P>The distinctive rings work well so far (been testing it for a good 10 min LOL). Bit of a lapse between the outside phone ringing and asterisk actually connecting to an account (2 rings worth) but still not bad for a solution. I've managed to route one number to a IAX hardphone and the other to a SIP softphone quite easily.</P>
<P>All there was to it was a few lines in the zapata.conf:</P>
<P> usedistinctiveringdetection=yes <BR>
dring1=369,324,144 ;(MTS 'teen line')<BR>
dring1context=newcontext</P>
<P>and of course creating the newcontext in extensions.conf.</P>
<P>The other (main) phone number just automatically goes through to the account is was set up to route to, but you could add multiple 'dring's (ie: dring1 dring2 dring3 dring4)*max of four distinctive rings in total.</P>
<P>MTS standard ring is: 194,0,0</P>
<P>One more question....</P>
<P>I have my extensions.conf like this:</P>
<P>[incoming]<BR>
exten => s,1,Dial(${BERGENM},60)<BR>
exten => s,2,Hangup()</P>
<P>[incoming2]<BR>
exten => s,1,Dial(${MLEITCH},60)<BR>
exten => s,2,Hangup()</P>
<P>It works, but does it look correct? (no voice mail yet, if my wife stays calm today I'll set it up. Surprising how much time you can loose working on these projects!! but if she isn't use to me now, she never will be!!)</P>
<P>Thanks again for your help.</P>
<P>Mark<BR>

the flakiness had more to do with the tones not being standard across<BR>
telcos. If you do get it going, I'd like to hear how it works.<BR>

ISDN is around $100/mo (Les had posted rates a few weeks ago), plus your<BR>
