I got it working following the above layout.  I was attempting to use 
[135] for all of the phones and that won't work.  As in the example 
above, I used [135-1] and [135-2], setup the tftp config files in the 
same manner, and modified the exensions.conf file to look like: exten => 
135,1,Dial(SIP/135-1&SIP/135-2,20,rt)

I works great!!  Thanks!
