[Asterisk-Users] Extension Configuration Best Practice

[Rich Adamson]

In addition to the call forwarding approach noted in an earlier response,
you can also have both the hard and soft phones register as different
exetensions, then use something like:
 exten => 1234,2,Dial(SIP/1234&SIP/1235,15) 
to ring both phones, and the first one to answer gets the call.
