- That's kind of expensive, so of course its the one SWB would suggest.

- If the phones have the old mechanical ringers with metal bells (Like
- the ones in the 2500 type phones), You can do a bit of creative
- surgery on the bells with a hacksaw. Saw a slice from the rim halfway
- to the center on each cup shaped bell and re-install. The bell will
- now sound quite different.

- For electronic ringers, I can't help.

- [Moderator's Note: A hacksaw is a bit of an overkill. All you need to
- do is adjust the clapper inside by bending it just a tiny bit, or
- turning the bell parts slightly to create a sort of dull ring on the
- one phone, and a more shrill ring on the other. PAT]
