It supports 6 lines. You can usually find a good one off
eBay.
I thought asterisk could only register once per ip? guess
i'll go read the wiki for a while longer. :)
I have a 7960G. It doesn't have six "lines," it can register with 6 _proxies_, plus a backup, plus an emergency (the latter two don't have buttons.) Each of the six main proxies has it own "button." (You can register six times, with six different account, on the same proxy or six different proxies.) each proxy can accept two incoming calls, plus an outgoing call. You can also conference on the same "button" with the phone. You cannot (w/SIP 7.3) conference between proxies.
Before someone jumps up and "does the math" and says "it can handle 12 incoming calls." Well, no. It can handle as many calls as your asterisk server can, but the user needs to use something like the "Flash Operator Panel" for Asterisk. Also, one or more of the proxies are often setup as "intercom" proxies (ie, they auto-answer and put the call on the speaker).
