[Asterisk-Users] Re: Snom phones - any advice

One particularly weird behavior on the Snom phones - When the phone  
is either 1) off-hook without a call, or 2) on-hook and ringing, if  
another call comes into the phone, it will tell asterisk it is busy.   
Most other phones in this case will roll the second call over to the  
next available line, but Snom phones will give a busy message back to  
asterisk.  I went crazy with my configs trying to figure out how to  
stop this, but Snom has said that this behavior is intentional.  I  
don't know why.
