Hi, first time poster.  I've searched, but find very little on this topic.

My church has only 2 incoming phone lines (copper), being serviced by Digum TDM400 card. The existng phone system (being replaced) was a key system, easy for users to tell both lines were in use. We have chosen Polycom 430 phones for the new system, and from what I can tell, I'm only going to have a single light to work with, via the directory & "buddy watch" method. So far, so good - I can watch a *single* Zap channel.

What I'd really like to do - for now - is to take the hint, which is currently assigned to the specific Zap channel, and somehow have it indicate that *all* of the available trunks are in use (all 2 of them right now). This so the people using the system know that both outgoing lines are in use, please wait to make a call.

I've seen syntax like exten => 1234,hint,(Zap/1&Zap/2), but I don't understand the & part (does it mean any of?). Is there some similar syntax that means all of? Or, is there a way to synthesize a dummy extension hint out of the individual channel hints? Or.... is what i'm asking not feasible? I hope this is clear...

thanks
