It sounds like you are trying to share the PBX between multiple people..

I would suggest getting an ISDN BRI line and an AVM Fritz card (using 
the chan_capi driver).. This will give you two lines onto which you can 
get 8 MSN's (an MSN is another number coming in on the same BRI).. You 
can setup Asterisk to route the calls to the correct phones or group of 
phones based on the number that was called..

If you are in the UK there are plenty of Fritz cards around and this 
method will also allow you to have CallerID if you want it where the 
analog cards have issues with CallerID..

Later..
