A service called "Multi-Line Variety Pak" has been implemented by
Western Electric for No 1A ESS -- though it is not available in all
operating companies.
 
What happens is that your multiple single lines are grouped into a
small CENTREX, which allows you to use call pickup and to tranfer
calls from one line to another.  The rest of the features work pretty
much the same as without Multi-Line Variety Pak, except that a side
effect of being able to transfer an incoming call to another line in
your CENTREX is that you can transfer it anywhere.
