Set number of rings

You can set your answering system
to answer calls at least two rings
earlier than your voicemail service.
For example, if your voicemail
service answers after six rings, set
your answering system to answer
after four rings. Thus, if you are on
a call, or if the answering system is
busy recording a message and you
receive another call, the second caller
can leave a voicemail message.
