Bill, I also have a "ring kill" relay and simply reset it after ring-count
goes back to zero (which happens automatically a couple of seconds after the
phone stops ringing). It makes no difference whether you are still on the
phone or not, it doesn't effect conversations or outgoing touch tones, only
ring in.

Yes, Remote-Phone-Button works just fine.

I use Garnet Bailey's Phone stuff from the archives; I've modified it a
little (still isn't working 100%) since I've moved over to windows. 
Actually, the phone event works just fine but I have a "ring kill" relay
which stops the house phones from ringing until after the CID
announcement.  The command I used to use to re-set it isn't available
under ECS 4 with Phone-Interface-C, so I'm experimenting in small doses.

I probably have a text file with just the phone stuff in it if you'd
like it e-mailed directly (this will be -old- ECS 3.3) but should get
you started.  I could also probably suppliment it with a "cut-n-paste"
from my CFG file.

A word of caution - phone stuff is just about the hardest to "figure
out" in ECS.  Lots of interlinking.  It's NOT a 1 or 2 night project!
