asterisk users - Nov 2006 - same extension on softphones and hardphones

Sorry if you see this message repeated twice. I would like to set up
hard phones and softphones with the same extension so that when anybody
in the company dials an extension, each user's hardphone and softphone
will ring at the same time. I've tried setting this up before, but I
noticed that the last sip device to register with the same extension is
the only one that rings when the extension is dialed. The sip devices
they will be using are Grandstream GXP2000 desktop phones and Xten
Eyebeam softphones.  Each user will have one of each. What is the best
way to accomplish this?


Xten eyebeam  ext 110  \
                        \
		             --> Asterisk 1.2.8 
		            /
GXP2000 phone ext 110  /


Need both phones to ring when extension 110 is dialed. 
Is this possible without creating ring groups?

Thanks in advance.

One possible solution is to have one sip account for each _device_, not
extension; say "sip110h" and "sip110s" for the
"110"-user.

Then use the "dial" command in your extensions.conf like

exten => _1XX,1,Dial(SIP/sip${EXTEN}s&SIP/sip${EXTEN}h)

This will cause parallel ringing phones. First come first serve.

Is this inherently an issue with sip? Is it possible for a sip server to
actually ring two different sip registration from the same account or is
this not possible under any sip enabled pbx?

Thanks again
