[Asterisk-Users] Line appearances

[Brian Cuthie]

Hi Joseph,

I'll assume you mean a 7960 with the SIP image...

Yes, you can register the same SIP client multiple times. Each line 
appearance on a 7960 configured for SIP is a separate SIP client. Each 
can register with completely different SIP proxies (providers) or you 
can have several registrations for the same directory number (DN) so 
that instead of call waiting, additional calls appear at the next 
available line appearance.

I can't answer your coded question since I always use g.711ulaw.
