Our campus Ericsson MD110 &*^$^%#%^ switch currently allows exactly
one forward; when it was first installed you couldn't forward to a
phone that was forwarded to you, but you could make a three-number
loop and then crash the switch by calling any of the three numbers
(complete crash: no audio paths, no ringing, no dial tone, DEAD!).
Now you can set up a such a loop but the call will only forward once,
and the switch won't crash.

Actually, since they use divert-on-no-answer to provide voice mail,
that means that I can't use my secretary's voice mail to answer my
line, since even if I forward my phone to her number, it won't divert
a second time to the voice mail.
