It depends which base station you're using - some of the earlier ones 
only supported one or two simultaneous SIP calls (remember dialling 
counts as a call, even if it's not answered).

I seem to recall the N300IP (the one we use) supports 3 concurrent SIP 
calls.

The easiest workaround is probably to create a fourth SIP account called 
'102_103_104' or something that's set to ring all 3 handsets on the 
Gigaset web interface. You can then Dial(SIP/Handset_102_103_104) 
<substitute the SIP account you created above> from Asterisk instead.

A cautionary note with Gigasets in general: they claim each base station 
will support up to 7 handsets. In my experience, things start to get a 
bit "flaky" above 3 or 4 handsets (specific handsets not ringing 
periodically, etc.), so I suspect the base station might be CPU limited 
at some point, especially if you're asking it to use an expensive 
(computationally) codec like G.729.

Kind regards,

Chris
