What you are looking for is a "Busy Lamp Field"  (BLF).  This can usually be 
controlled by custom SIP headers  (though naturally, every manufacturer's 
implementation is ever so slightly different).

N.B.  Be sure to *avoid* Digium phones if you want BLF functionality!  Making 
use of this feature would require you to pollute your system by installing a 
toxic, binary-only module.
