[Asterisk-Users] Re: Sip phones on the same extension?

[Brian Buhrow]

	Hello.  I'm sorry I wasn't clear.  In the original question I asked, I
said that I found the same work around that was suggested on this list.
Since the suggestion was there, and since I had posted my original work
around in my original message, I thought there was something that I was
missing with respect to the work around itself, and I was asking for
clarification.  The solution I have working at the moment, is exactly the
one which was offered up.  However, I don't like it, because it's a
solution which doesn't scale.  I was trying to assertain if Asterisk would
do what I was envisioning, and which SER does very well, and if the fact
that I couldn't think of a way was merely due to my lack of knowledge about
Asterisk.  It sounds like Asterisk doesn't work like this right now.  Do folks
think they'd find such a feature useful if I coded it up and sent it back
to Digium?
-thanks
-Brian

Because the one you came up with isn't possible with asterisk at this
time.
