[asterisk-users] using asterisk on a shared line

[Bill Lovett]

I get how everything is connected with your setup, but if you pick up  
the cordless phone to answer a call does the sip extension just keep  
ringing until it times out?

I like the exclusion adapter idea because it sounds like it would let  
me keep my dialplan intact. But I do take John and Trevor's point  
about putting everything through asterisk and running it 24/7. It  
would make things a lot simpler.
