[Asterisk-Users] Re: two UA with the same usr/pwd

[Rich Adamson]

Regardless of what has (or has not) been implemented in asterisk, there
is a very valid business reason for wanting an extension number to ring
on multiple phones and to determine the status of an extension from
multiple phones. Business have needed (and implemented) that for years.
Having such an implementation in asterisk would definitely be a major
plus (regardless of what our definitions of a pbx and keysystem happen
to be).

simultaneous registration, both phones ringing at the same time and first to answer gets the 
call.
