[asterisk-users] Shared Extension

[Raj Jain]

I don't quite understand the use case, but it sounds like you may be
trying to do shared line appearances (http://asterisk.org/node/48342).
You seem to be alluding that you want multiple extensions to share the
state of a single extension. If that is the case, then SLA isn't quite
that. Also, Asterisk SLA doesn't support a notion of call appearance
where a single extension can receive multiple calls.
