Actually, that isn't quite 100% accurate.

The more accurate statement is that you can't have two phones log in as
the same username/etc in sip.conf.  You can, however have extensons.conf
ring numerous phones all at the same time for a given extension.

What you can do is set up two separate phone configurations in sip.conf,
one per phone.  I.E:

[101-phone1]
...sip config...

[101-phone2]
...sip config...

and then modify your dial command in extensions.conf to look something
like:

exten => 101,1,Dial(SIP/101-phone1&SIP/101-phone2,20,tr)
