A service called "Multi-Line Variety Pak" has been implemented by Western Electric for No 1A ESS -- though it is not available in all operating companies. What happens is that your multiple single lines are grouped into a small CENTREX, which allows you to use call pickup and to tranfer calls from one line to another. The rest of the features work pretty much the same as without Multi-Line Variety Pak, except that a side effect of being able to transfer an incoming call to another line in your CENTREX is that you can transfer it anywhere. /john
