In the past, a number set to forward allowed multiple calls to
be in progress at once (provided, of course that the recipient
number had rotary lines to handle them). This was a great
advantage to many ports, because a 'fringe' phone could extend
the local calling area.
I now hear that our good friends at AT&T have rewritten the
switch software to exclude this possibility. Anybody care to
confirm/deny or otherwise expound?

that I could choose how many calls to forward at one time. --JSol]
