asterisk users - Aug 2005 - Both lines in an ATA using the same UID/PASS

I have an ATA186, a tech just told me to set UID0 and UID1 to the same
username, and PASS0 and PASS1 to the same password.  In my mind, this
would seem to have the unit registering twice under the same account,
which Asterisk wouldn't support. When a call comes in, it should go to the
last line to register. So to me, this means the call could sometimes come
in on Line 1 and sometimes on Line 2.

The tech told me I've got it wrong, if you set both lines to the same
uid/pass, then it puts the unit into a 2 line mode, it won't double
register. An incoming call will come in on line1, and if it's busy, go
over to line2. It disables call-waiting in a way, kind of like an
automatic rollover.

He believes the Linksys/Sipura's would do the same as well. 

So who's right?

Works that way for me. IN SPA-841 for example, both lines are on the
same user/pass and the device registers once but line one rings and if I
answer it then get another call, line two rings.
