in the simpler explaination i never spoke of "shifting locations".

speaking as a user:
i have a traditional phone line and can connect phones "in parallel".
if i switch to SIP phones, i want to be able to do the same thing,
othersise i am losing features.
it is irrelevant that the two phones are in different locations
or in the same room or on the same desk.

cheers
