I am not sure if this is really possible but I figured I would ask anyway. I have a customer who wants an asterisk system. Currently they have a BizFon system. The feature that he really wants is to be able to pick up any line and have all the stations show up on his phone. Is this possible in asterisk? If so can someone point me in the right direction?

Alternatively you could use the asterisk management portal software but that runs on a PC. I worked with the old BizFon systems... Nasty nasty nasty. -A.

Trying to make Asterisk function like a key system (while possible) is difficult, and will result in much frustration. Instead, you are best off showing this person how to use a PBX properly. It may take a little getting used to, but it's best in the long run because you won't be supporting a goofy system.
