Ask Bell to put a Hunt/Rollover on your primary number to you secondary number. If 6080 is busy, it will ring down to 6081.
Using call waiting you may be able to flash the Zap channel to pick up the second line, but I'm not really sure about it. It does sound like you want a Hunt though.

First here are the details of the system: - - Asterisk from SVN + AMP - - TDM400 2 FXO lines coming in. I'll call them 6080 and 6081 - - 6080 given as voice line, 6081 for fax/additional voice - - 4 Pingtel Xpressa desk phones for the users When someone is on the phone (occupying 6080) and someone happens to call in at the same time, the call waiting sound is heard in the phone but there is no way to switch the call (this is OK) but all the caller hears is ringing until either they hang up or the line becomes free at which point asterisk picks up.. This seems to them like no one is answering the phone and they can't even get to an extension to leave a voicemail. How is something like this worked around without ordering any VoIP lines? Can aserisk better integrate the two lines and switch over like their old nortel PBX used to?
