Take your answering machine and connect as an extension in the system (let say 201) Connect the same extension 201 also to CO1 on the cabinet (which you are probably no longer using) Setup button CO1 on every phone Program so there is no ringing on 201 or all extensions from CO1 Pressing CO1 while answering machine is ON will answer the call and turn off the answering machine, as in the old days.

In the old days before upgrading from the KX-T1232 (12 plain copper CO lines) to our KX-TD1232 with a KX-TD290 PRI module, we used to have an answering machine connected to the CO01 line (company main number), and an amp and speaker connected to the answering machine. When a call would come in after hours and the answering machine was on, one could listen to the caller and pick up the call simply by pressing the CO01 button on any phone. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this with the PRI. I have it set up so that in night mode calls go to an extension, where the answering machine is, after three rings. But once the answering machine has picked up, how does one pick up the call from any other extension (and get the answering machine to hang up)? We do have a TVS120 voice mail system. Maybe hooking up the amp/speaker to the speaker on the receptionist's phone and program it for live screening after hours?
