A speed dial list associated with a telephone line is received via at
least one of a computer network and a telephone network. The speed dial
list is stored in a database and associated with an identifier of the
telephone line. An event of connecting a telephone set to the telephone
line is detected. Based on the event, the telephone line to which the
telephone set has been connected is identified. The speed dial list
associated with the identified telephone line is retrieved. A
machine-readable form of the speed dial list is communicated to the
telephone set via the telephone network.
