Okay, so like this?

PHONE1+AD0-SIP/2000
PHONE2+AD0-SIP/3000
PHONE3+AD0-SIP/4000
ALL+AD0AJAB7-PHONE1+AH0AJgAkAHs-PHONE2+AH0AJgAkAHs-PHONE3+AH0- 

Then you would have 

Exten +AD0APg- s,1,Dial(+ACQAew-ALL+AH0-,20)

Is that right?

I have read about the Macros but don't understand their use.  Could
someone provide an example? 

Sorry about the newby questions...  This will hopefully be my production
phone system soon.  Thanks

+AD4- All kinda is the same question.  But thanks for the answer anyway...

This is where variables come in handy, and also macros. For example, I
just put several new variables into my extensions.conf file to deal with
the changing nature of our dialplan. I defined a variable for each user
that we have, and I created a ALL variable that strings all the users
together. You could also make variables for all the users in certain
departments, and then your ALL variable could then just include your
department variables. 

The benefit of the variables is just that you can change it in one
location and it ripples through all the other definitions.

As for the multiple call appearances in SIP, I don't know how to deal
with that.
