asterisk users - Dec 2005 - multiple line registrations on attendant console

Hi all,

I've noticed that Polycom and Snom each offer attendant console expansions.
As far as I understand, the point in using all the buttons they provide is to
program them to register as extensions in order to be able to monitor the status
of each extension at any given time and, also, to be able to pickup any
extension that has been ringing for a while.

Is this feature supported by asterisk? I have tried to register two sip phones
with the same extension but when I dial the extension only one of the phones
rings.

This is a feature that is necessary in many telephony environments and I'd
be happy to be able to implement it using asterisk.
I've searched through the list's posts for the past few months but
didn't come up with anything usefull.

any help would be greatly appreciated
