I needed to take one of our 800 Numbers and route it directly to the CEO. Our CEO worked in a different state but wanted to use our phone system to receive calls and wanted to give out a Toll Free number so people are not discouraged from calling him because to the long distance charges (and probably a little bit of vanity of having his very own 800 number). This is how I did it on our Cisco System running version 8.5.
