asterisk users - Aug 2004 - Multiple SIP phones ringing for same extension

Can someone confirm what I should expect the correct behaviour to be on
incoming calls if I have multiple SIP phones configured for the same
username?

I'd expect all the phones registered under the username that that extension
is associated with to ring, and the first one that answers gets it.

What I get, is just the first phone that registered gets a ring. The second
one doesn't ring at all.

I think you need to use different usernames on each of them (one phone, 
one sip idientity) and then have a dial statement that calls multiple 
sip channels. See "show application dial".

Asterisk won't work this way. Just the last phone registered will ring. 
There was a big thread a month ago in this list and a Bounty placed for 
adding the feature. Search for "sip simultaneous" in google or the
wiki
