There are phones out there that have more than one line appearance, like the Cisco 7940 or 7960 (with 2 and 6 lines respectively). One thing I'm personally not clear on is having what's commonly known as "multi line appearance", where phone A is extension 201, phone B is extension 202, and they both have an appearance of 222 which would appear/ring on both phones. The other type of multi line appearance is where 201 and 202 have appearances of each other. A call to 201 would only ring phone A, but phone B would have a light lit up to show that phone A is in use. This isn't an Asterisk specific thing, it goes back to the SIP standard/specification. It might be easier with MGCP, I'm not sure - I remember reading something about it but it was a while ago. Hope that helps.
