I just bought a new one and am almost instantly finding the limitations I
believe, so please let me know if any of the following is possible, because
I can't figure it out if it is. Thanks!

I run a home business and have one physical phone line with distinctive
ring, so i have two incoming numbers, one home, one business.

1. is it possible to program the memory keys to turn on/off phone features,
specifically remote notification
2. if not, is it possible to enable remote notification only for calls
hitting a specific mailbox (ie, the special mailbox if i use call attendant
to say something like hit 8 to page someone) (ie, i only want to be
notified if i have a business call come in, not calls on the personal line)
3. is it possible to set up call attendant only on one line (i dont want
people calling in on my home phone line to have to deal with a menu of
options)
4. no way to do time based responses (ie, caller gets one greeting during
business hours, different greeting during non business hours)
5. if i have a number in the directory, and i dont assign a mailbox to it,
the docs say it's assigned to the general mailbox. the problem with this is
that some of my clients are also friends and call both the business and my
home number. once i add them to the directory, it appears i HAVE to assign
them to a specific mailbox and that there is no way i can use the
distinctive ring feature any longer to route them to a mailbox depending on
which number they call. do i understand this correctly?

thanks, and if you know of any other reasonably priced phone that will do
everything this one does plus the above, please let me know (distinctive
ring features are KEY, most other stand alone phones I've looked at can't
deal with this. Phones that require a PC connection is OK too, or a
straight software based solution that works with a standard voice modem
could perhaps work as long as I can route personal calls back out to a
standard answering machine so my wife won't have to deal with the computer
side of things).
