Or is such a feature restricted to PBX system phones? The Moderator Noted: > I don't know if you meant it the way it came out, but the telephone > instrument has *nothing* to do with the ring you hear as the caller. I do realize that the double ring a *caller* may hear has nothing to do with the telephone being used. To clarify what I was asking here, I'll rephrase the question. What I meant was: Are there any telephones on the market for a residential line that produce a double ring *on the receiving end* ? I was referring to Robert Oliver's comment that the PBX system phone in his office produces a double ring when the call originates from outside the building. I was wondering if there are phones that can be used on a residential line that will give a *double ring* for incoming calls. I am talking about the telephone ringer. If anyone has any information, please let me know. Sorry for the confusion. Rick Broadhead ysar1111@VM1.YorkU.Ca
