asterisk users - Aug 2009 - Same number for each caller, but should reach different zap-channels, how?

Easy questions for you guys probably,

I'd like to serve 10 parallell incoming calls at the same time, so I bought
a lot of Zap-channel cards for analog phone lines.

But I want all users to be able to use the same phone number to dial in, but I
want the number to be switched to an avaiable zap-channel.
Do I need some kind of switch for this?
It sounds reasonable, but I'm not sure. :)

Am I clear enough? This must be a normal scenario for Asterisk. For example in
conferencing.
Dial number xxxxxxx and many people will do this at the same time, and it works
somehow :)

Sincerely,
Johan

Just tell your telco to put your numbers in a "hunt group" so
a,b,c,d,e, etc
all come in as a.

That's a problem that needs to be discussed with the provider of those POTS
lines..

With POTS lines, each number has a unique number, but the telco builds a
"hunt group" for you..
For example, maybe you own phone number 555-1000.  Your POTS lines may have
555-1000, 555-1001, etc, all the way to 555-1009  (total of your 10 lines)

The telco builds the hunt group so that when you get a call on a busy number in
your range, it auto-forwards to the next number in the set..

If they don?t know what a hunt-group is, tell them you need "Call Forward
when busy" feature, or "CFB" pointing to the next number in the
list..
