yes for inbound.  1 rings 1... 2 rings 2.. and so on.  Not the best method
of doing this.. but ok.

Not possible with SIP... might be with Skinny.  Use parking or transfer.

Nope. (See previous answer)

Nope. (Not with SIP)

I have 3 in my Dell Poweredge 500SC but you need to have a good bios.  One
