Does the cascading happen only on single line ("Industry Standard") phones or also on the proprietary multi-line Panasonic phones?

I don't know if I am reading you right, but my prop phone (7130) is on 21, another phone is on 27, and a Dictograph on 36, the only three numbers I programmed to ring on incoming calls, and they all cascade.

David W. mentioned dialing ? for a specific outside line, instead of dialing 9 to get the first available outside line.  On my 616, and I assume the same on the 308, you dial 81 to get outside line 1, 82 for outside line 2 and so forth.

21 would ring first (21, 25, 29, and 33 ring together)
                             (22, 26, 30 and 34 ring together next)
27 next                  (23, 27, 31 and 35 ring together)
36 last                   (24, 28, 32, 36 ring together)

Other than ebay, what are some good sources (re:cheap) for the 616?

Question on the Panasonic PBX. I have never unplugged mine or turned it off since I got it. Do you leave yours on all the time or do you shut it down when not in use? I will sometimes go weeks without using it. I was curious if disconnecting it may extend the life or not. I seem to recall a discussion somewhere stating they were not meant to turn off & on but I could not find it.
What's your opinion?

Harry....I leave it on 24 x 7. Two ports I use on my test bench.

The Rotary phones I have working, I use the spare pairs in my house cable to location so I can dial out and keep the cordless phones separate....Doug
