I have a home and business system that just ties all the lines together 
(combo of zaptel, and sip incoming at several locations), inbound 
routing based on which line it came from. Was using a t1 card and 
channel bank for extensions but migrated away from that to a mix of 
multiline sip hardphones, sip softphones (touchscreens, as well as 
clients on pcs and wifi on android phones), as well as good old analog 
phones hooked up to SPA's (they are all in 2 central locations and just 
use legacy phone wiring), got physical fax machines hooked to those as 
well for outbound, inbound fax on all lines to iax softphone and 
hylafax, even door phones on the spa's in immediate answer mode.

Second dial tone provider for ld on the physical lines all hidden by the 
way dialing is done.
Conference rooms, speed dials, voicemail unified messaging.

Even have forwarding like :
- incoming call rings local phones and sip on wifi if its connected (to 
android phone)
- call rolls over to call out another trunk and dial cellphone (hiding 
this from inbound caller entirely)
- still no answer rolls back in to unified messaging voicemail so no 
messages are ever left on cell phone and subscribing to vm not even 
necessary.

 From my android handset any call I dial I can choose to use cellular or 
sip to complete the call.


Works just fine, really have no major complaints about it. Use the 
freepbx gui.
