What is the purpose of having the incoming lines show as different line
appearances  if you are just going to use them as a hunt group?  I as
because the easiest solution is to route all the incoming calls to the same
line appearance.  Each "line" can have multiple calls coming in at the same
time, and you can handle easily using the soft buttons.  Then you could
reuse the extra buttons as speed dials, other specific extensions (i.e. the
boss' DID) etc.
