The answer is B. Hunting lines is nothing else but a call forward on busy. So line 1 forwards to 2 line 2 forwards to line 3 and so forth.
In your dialplan just set up the 5 lines with the same incoming context. Regards.

Can anyone point me to some resources on using hunting lines with Asterisk? Sales support of my telco have no idea what I am trying to do. They asked what pbx system I am using, I was like Aster... never mind =) I am trying to setup asterisk to take in 5 hunting lines. Where one phone number would get published as our companies main IVR entry point, and the calls will get distributed into the Asterisk system internal extensions via the 5 available hunting lines. I am lost here. When a customer dials the main number, does it (A) get call transferred to an available channel by a dial plan with asterisk, or (B) the telco automatically checks to see if the main number is busy and transfer to the next hunting line? If (A), do I flash, dial to the available hunting line with my dial plan, and disconnect the original call (similar to a 3 way call conference). Would this even work on a external telco line? If (B), this would be simple, I would assume Asterisk can listen to all 5 fxo and run the same IVR script Here is my setup. 5 FXO hunting lines/19 FXS analog phone goes to a channel bank, then to a Digium T1 card.
