If you can get "distinctive ringing" for multiple numbers on a link
there are boxes that will direct the call based on the ring pattern.
This means the line doesn't get answered by the wrong machine which
then has to "hand off" the call.

Multi-Link has one I've used for years. About $100 at Graybar.
