It isn't hard to make an incoming POTS call to the spa-3k ring all the
phones.

1) set up an extension that rings all the phones.

    exten => 6666,1,Dial(sip/6001&sip/6002&sip/6003&sip/6004&..sip/N)

Have the spa3k use an "S0" dialplan:

    PSTN Line:
    ...
    Dial Plan 8:            (S0 <:6666> )
    ...
    PSTN Caller Default DP: 8

Too bad the spa3k software lacks a way to save a dialplan or to diff
it against factory defaults.  It makes it kind of hard to post a
definitive recipe.
