asterisk users - Apr 2009 - opening 2 and more channels on 1 SIP account

Hi!
I have a Grandstream VoIP Device, at which a DECT base with 2 cordless
phones are connected. If a call is placed and made through one cordless
phone the other cordless phone appears as busy.

What I want:
1. The Base station of the DECT cordless phones, is connected at 1 FXS
Port of my Grandstream Telephone Adapter.
2. I want to place and receive as many calls at the same time through 1
SIP Account, and through this 1 FXS Port where the base station is
connected through.

Impatient are we :)

The dev list is for discussion that involves changing the C source code of 
Asterisk.

Your assumption is incorrect. The question is not technical at all 
(assuming I understand correctly). Connecting a cordless base that has 2 
handsets to an ATA does not magically give you 2 separate lines unless:

) The DECT base is a "2 line" base. If so, does it have 2
"rj-11's" or 1?
Since the other handset says "busy" this implies it is a single line
DECT
base.

) Your ATA supports "2 lines." If so, does it have 2
"rj-11's" or 1?

You would need to provide a bit more information, but there is nothing in 
the information you have provided to indicate that this has anything to do 
with Asterisk.

Maybe you would have more success calling the Grandstream or the 
manufacturer of your DECT set.

Thanks in advance,
