[Asterisk-Users] Re: two UA with the same usr/pwd

[Eric Wieling aka ManxPower]

Many people seem to want this feature.  I think they are just 
confused.  I've never actually heard of a good reason to let multiple 
devices register with the same username/secret.  Most of the time they 
  want a call to ring on multiple devices and they are trying to make 
a device == extension, which is not correct.  A device is a device and 
an extension is an extension and they are not the same thing and there 
is no 1-to-1 mapping between them.

I wonder if there is another way to do this. Of course, I am talking about a SIP proxy behaviour, simultaneous registration, both phones ringing at the same time and first to answer gets the call.
