I am looking for common practice ideas on how to handle multiple line phones. Is it common with asterisk to have the lines appear as programmable buttons? Or to just have itcm like buttons and use the dial 9 approach? What I am specifically interested in, is to have my line one appear on the first button (sip polycom phones) line two appear on the second button, and use the third as an intercom (internal extension) button. I have managed to get the line 1 to ring on the line 1 button and the same for line two. I have even managed to get extension transfers to happen on the itcm button.
The trouble I have is that I don't know if someone else is on the particular line, and when I dial, it picks up the first available button (line) so even if I dial an extension, it looks like I am dialing from line 1 to the extension. How do I make it pick the third button, etc... Confusing? I have read the "handbook" and countless searches through wiki and Google, but cannot find practical examples of multi-line use with asterisk. Thanks a ton. I have been testing asterisk and on the mailing list for about a month now... I would be happy to send all my config files for perusal.
