Correction to my last message about Merlin undocumented feature:

You CAN make use of a COVER on a 5-button phone.  Suppose you want to set
#10 to cover intercom 14 with delayed ring.  Go into program and enter
	#10*414#10#10

The second two #10's set the "button" first to ring, then to delayed ring.
When the covered phone rings, after a delay, your phone will ring.  The
red light will select NO line (so you can see that it is a cover -- of course,
if you have more than one, you can't tell).  When you pick up the phone, you
get the covered line.
