Hi all,

Trying to follow the thread,
Indeed, multiple dial is what i'm doing also.

While otoh, I'm registered on several sip-phones with my username&pwd.
I would prefer to dial to a single "user" instead of a number of
sip-phones.
If that user is registered at one phone, ok. If he is registered at 10
phones let all those phones ring.

(but perhaps i've not explored all the possibilities of *)
