While this is possible it isn't easy, You will trip over resource  
sharing problems in 2 areas:
	1) port numbers - SIP likes to listen on 5060UDP - you could  
configure each softphone to
use a non-standard port, but you have to tell asterisk that, and any  
other SIP aware network
infrastructure (NAT routers etc)
	2) Audio hardware - assuming you only have one speaker and  
microphone on your PC,
which softphone should get the audio data? How will they decide?

Some hardphones support registering to multiple sip accounts from one  
phone.
(as indeed do some softphones) Is that what you want ?
