I don't really understand this. If a person has a DDI phone number, then
that can be arranged to follow them around if they hot-desk within the
building. My own [office] DDI number follows me home (when I'm working
from there). All people need to know to reach me is my DDI number - it's
*my* responsibility to make sure that number rings a phone near me.
Is the real issue here that the PABX isn't sufficiently clever to
display the DDI number assigned [at that time] to the phone making the
call?
