Isn't DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) the protocol between the handset and the base?

If your base is ISDN shouldn't you be connecting it to an ISDN terminal adapter instead of an ATA? What the heck is a 2 way AGI script?

I think I'm confused. If the base has a single 2-wire rj-11, it's a single line POTS device regardless of how many handsets you have or the capabilities of your ATA. The fact that you say the "not in use" handset says "busy" supports my assumptions. > I hope still, that SIP can manage more then one call through one > account, if not, it is a sad thing and I have to drop the development > for DECT for the PBX system at all. SIP can manage multiple simultaneous calls through one account to multiple SIP end points. But that's not what you have. As far as I can see, Asterisk is going to see multiple handsets talking (DECTing?) to a single POTS based base connected to an ATA as a single end point.
