[Asterisk-Users] Provisioning Lines

[Manjit Riat]

Well having one line provisioned on the cisco 7960 gives me two incoming
lines anyways (call waiting).how can I provision the other lines with the
same extension (through the phone or asterisk)?

Or is it something like this

Exten => 101, 1, Dial(SIP/ciscoline1&SIP/ciscoline2&SIP/ciscoline3,20,tr)

But then all the three lines will ring simultaneously appearing as if there
are three incoming calls.

Same extension but using call waiting...

So when your girlfriend calls while you are talking on the phone, you can 
see the incoming call and callerID, and then either ignore it and let it 
bounce to vmail or put your wife on hold and take the call from your 
girlfriend.

It really depends on your relationships.
