Line Queuing

When all outgoing lines in a particular group are busy, Line Queuing
puts you on a 'waiting list' for an available line in the group. As soon
as a line becomes free, your phone rings and a line key flashes. When
signaled, you must answer within 20 seconds or the line rings the next
person on the 'waiting list'.
