I've heard that Primus offer "call forwarding on busy", so if you can
get your first line ported to Primus and activate this feature to
forward to a local DID
(which usually has 5 channels) you can have 6 equivalent lines for
not much more than a single line otherwise you pay nearly the same price
for every equivalent
line you add. This seems to good to be true but why not ?

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.

I have asterisk running in a small office environment where
they let me screw around with things, and its been running
problem-free for the last few months I just have a few
questions about some specific problems related to running
analog lines. 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?

Herb Molenda
