Most PBX's do hotline in software, and some even allow incoming calls
normally but lifting the receiver hotlines to a predetermined DN.  If
you're only going to call the bull pen then why bother dialing?

[Moderator's Note: The only reason you would 'bother dialing' is
because you might want to instead call upstairs to the VIP Suite to
talk to your wife who was sitting there watching the game instead of
calling the bull-pen. One number dialing makes a phone too restrictive
and should only be used when the phone needs definite security against
misuse.  PAT]
