[Asterisk-Users] What's the use of a multi line phone?

[Race Vanderdecken]

Also you can have several numbers terminating to one desk. That way you
can be the sales guy and the repair guy at the same time. I like the
Cisco 7960 because it has 6 lines.

Also it makes it easier to test, you only need one phone to make test
calls.

Well, in the Asterisk arena, it allows a few nice things...

If you are on one call, you can see your second call come in on a new
line and choose to put the current on hold and answer it or just ignore
it.  It allows you the ability to leave someone on hold at your station
while calling someone else.  Maybe to confirm a problem for someone but
not with them on the line for isntance.

Asteriskj is nice enough to allow you to turn this feature on or off at
the server (call Waiting) so you can have a 1 line phone or a multi line
phone at your choice.

Sorry for this n00b type question but what is the use of a multi line
phone?

Occasionally I see discussions going on about this subject but with a
single phone you can only answer one call at a time (at least I can with
only one phone).

What would you need the extra lines for?
