Um, well, really, that's never been a problem here.  I've had more problems
trying to get them to register directly with VoIP providers than I care to
think about, though.

You need to make sure you've dotted your i's and crossed your t's with
these phones, but then they work really well.

from the SIP<mac>.cnf:

line2_name:      "2002"
line2_authname:  "2002"
line2_password:  "khafusulhff"
line2_shortname: "DisplayedLineName"
proxy2_address:  "some.ip.addr.ess"

sip.conf:

[2002]
type=friend             ; This device takes and makes calls
secret=khafusulhff      ; Password for device
auth=md5
host=dynamic            ; This host is not on the same IP addr every time
username=2002           ; Username programmed into Cisco phone
context=from-7960       ; Inbound calls from this phone go to this context
nat=no                  ; nat=yes if this phone is behind a NAT box or firewall
;callgroup=2            ; the group to which this phone belongs for *8 phone rin
ging pickup
;pickupgroup=2          ; the pickup group allowed from this phone when *8 is di
aled
mailbox=2902            ; Activate the MW light if this VMB has messages in it


Obviously not a complete configuration.  Note in particular that you 
probably need certain items out of SIPDefaults.
