Like someone else said, callgroups are Zapata only.  To Dial to a
callgroup, Dial(Zap/g2) for group 2.  This will *NOT* do what you want,
it'll just pick the first open line.  Instead, actually Dial all of the
phones you want to ring.  It's kludgy but it works.  I've mentioned that
I maintain a lot of my configuration using scripts, this is probably the
biggest one--maintaining correct incoming rings with custom generated
Dial lines.
