Impatient are we :)

The dev list is for discussion that involves changing the C source code of 
Asterisk.

Your assumption is incorrect. The question is not technical at all 
(assuming I understand correctly). Connecting a cordless base that has 2 
handsets to an ATA does not magically give you 2 separate lines unless:

) The DECT base is a "2 line" base. If so, does it have 2 "rj-11's" or 1? 
Since the other handset says "busy" this implies it is a single line DECT 
base.

) Your ATA supports "2 lines." If so, does it have 2 "rj-11's" or 1?

You would need to provide a bit more information, but there is nothing in 
the information you have provided to indicate that this has anything to do 
with Asterisk.

Maybe you would have more success calling the Grandstream or the 
manufacturer of your DECT set.

Thanks in advance,
