- I use something that is called "Uniform Call Distribution" by C&P
- Telephone. The hunt for an available line starts with the line
- following the one that the last call came in on, whether it was
- answered or not. It wraps around at the end, of course. It's only
- available with Centrex here, but the tariffs are such that that is not
- a major problem.
