» [exten15] » include = numberplan-custom-1 » exten => 11,hint,SIP/12&SIP/11 Where numberplan-custom-1 defines the general rules to dial any extension. And the secretary's phone (SIP/15) is subscribed to the context [exten15]. Now, I don't know if that's the right way of doing it (I'm a total n00b, you can tell, huh?). Oh, and I'm using Snoms. All Snoms. If there's not the possibility of knowing when a phone is lifted up, no problem...
