Sounds like your system is not set up correctly. You should be able to transfer a caller to (extension)#2 and send the caller to (extension)'s voicemail. There is another config to allow prepending a digit or * to the (extension) to send to voicemail.
As long as the phones and a voice gateway have power, the survivability feature should keep some voice services active in the event of power failure.
911 works well, as long as there is a gateway with a POTS line at each site. Otherwise, you've got to do the E911 stuff, and maintain the data.
This happened to me, I called the secretary and 'fixed' her problem, closed the case.
C-level type individual got mad, started complaining. My boss asked me about it, I merely asked him to access the case and tell me what computer was broken. (My boss couldn't tell from the case as it was entered)
Since then, everyone opens their own helpdesk cases.
If I'm looking at your traffic, and your headers are not encrypted, then I can determine which packets may be interesting (the ones to credit card company, commercial sites, etc) and which packets aren't interesting (web surfing, MUDing, email). Makes the job of the hacker much easier, only needing to break the encryption on packets that have a much higher probability of containing good information
I was raised in a Southern Baptist church. Nothing more threatening, particularly to a newcomer. Everyone introducing themselves, "Hi, How are you?" ad nauseum.
For any Baptists listening, be cool. New people are in a new situation, don't know you, won't know you 10 minutes from now if you introduce yourself, and would be better served with a friendly "hi", and answer any questions (where is the...bathroom, nursery, etc).
Unless, of course, you provide your own power, water, paper, fuel, raw materials, construction, manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, transportation, sales, waste disposal, support, banking, and the needs of your employees.
Can you name one business that does all of these things, and does not purchase anything from anybody?
This is the bag I use, and carry around what seems like 30000 pounds of cables, power supplies, cell phones, books, etc. I've had it for 2 years now and it still looks new.

It never is more than an arm's length away. The only downside comment I have is that you will need to experiment to find the best channel and position for FM broadcast (91.1, upside down on passenger seat, for me).
Well worth the $229 (I think that's what they're going for now, I paid more and think it was a great buy)
I would recommed getting extra power adapters, one for the office, car, home, etc. Mainly for hassle, but FM seems to work slightly better when the car adapter is connected.
Now to get application vendors to support multiple platforms. Ugh. Nothing disgusts me more than a 'server' application that needs to run on 95/98. Yes, this still exists.
Contracts do not need to be the inch-thick, heavily boilerplated tommes that come to mind. A contract could be as simple as:
OSSD agrees to develop [feature - be explicit] for BG and provide 90 days of support in exchange for [price/services].
BG agrees to remit half of the fee, [spell it out here] at the beginning of the project and the remainder when OSSD delivers completed software, accepted by BG on the following criteria [list].
BG agrees to pay all OSSD legal fees in the event of nonpayment or contract breach.
[BG signature] [OSSD signature]
In many US states, this will protect you - offer and consideration are spelled out, acceptance critera is listed, and BG has agreed to pay the legal fees if it comes to that! Of course, IANAL, and I would advise bouncing such a contract off of a lawyer to ensure validity in your area. The few minutes that a lawyer would take to do that would not cost anywhere near as much as nonpayment!
I have a neuros, and have used the HiSi feature from time to time. I would estimate that I've identified 50 tracks from it, and only had one failure, on a clip of me humming the tune.
One possible future use of HiSi that has been mentioned on the forums is ID3 tag correction. Since most downloaded MP3s have missing, incorrect, or mangled tags, this would be a nice use of the technology.
Why would I listen to the radio? In tornado alley, one likes to have a radio around from time to time.
MyFi is a very nice feature, broadcasting the unit's playback through your car's stereo.
Address book and calendar? That is what my Palm does.
Neuros Audio has a player that will record. 128 MB and 20 GB models are available.
I own one, and it is quite a nice player. Recording in a meeting environment does well, too.
Most Federal and State employees in the USA are paid according to 'scale' - essentially, everyone at the same level has the same salary, although I think there is some variability within each level.
So, it's not always about keeping salary information confidential.
That said, I once left a job because my supervisor made 5x what I did, worked at home, and I was in the office each morning at 7:30AM to answer at least 5 helpdesks before any of the other IS staff arrived. Got a 4% raise for it, too!

An "enhancement" could always be included in a service pack to allow DRM CDs on 95,98,etc.
What about legacy auto/component players?
Here's to hoping the OpenBIOS project can workaroud some of this junk.

Sometimes, you just need to force the issue.
The email list they're using has a lot of .gov addresses, in particular those on Pennsylvania Avenue. (the White House, for those who don't know)
That will get ALL federal law enforcement into a panic.

If your congressman wore a suit covered in logos like a NASCAR driver, constituents would know about their motives. Well said!
Like, quietness - I wouldn't want a loud fan, or any fan for that matter, on my back.
Battery life, reliability stability - wouldn't want any of this going down in a critical moment.
Redundancy/Backup system - wouldn't want to be unable to complete tasks if electronic gear is down.
Liability - I can see gunsight video appearing on the internet (already is for some aircraft videos)
Anybody hear of any bear fatalities in July 2001....
:-)
Methinks they were eaten by a bear. Would be the simplest explination.
http://www.everythingisnt.com/hosts.html is better.
It is on the menu on the left side of the main page. Pretty good list, BTW!

Cisco ACLs can be configured to change when a particular login is observed.
I would think that this method would be slightly better, since the router can require authentication before opening the port.
relies on other businesses.

I love fountain pens, have ~12 of them, from Montblanc to Rotring (best, IMHO).

I'm also a quite good NetAdmin/BOFH.

Well, there was that one bugfix for Win95, I think it was called Win98.....
