Sorry, I should have been more explicit.  Yes, I meant with VoicePulse 
and as far as I know, with Nufone too. These are the only ones I have 
checked explicitly (the IAX providers). Also, the number of simultaneous 
presentations may bary from provider to provider. Vonage may be able to 
do the same thing as well, but you would have to verify that with them, 
or someone on the list may also know.  As far as I know, iconnect 
explicitly disallows multiple call presentations. The iconnect thing was 
discussed on the list a month or two back.
