We're considering using Asterisk in our small (8 user) office.��There is one�feature that we have on our current phone system that I haven't seen in the documentation that I've read that I'd like to be able to replicate with Asterisk. � On our current phones (Iwatsu) we have a button on the phones for each extension that lights up when that extension is ringing or is in a call, so I can see at a glance if one of my coworkers is on the phone before I go barging into his office.� Also, if I am in a coworker's office and my phone rings, I can hit my extension button on his phone and answer the call.� � Can this functionality be reproduced by Asterisk, and if so, which SIP handsets would you suggest using to do something like this?� Right now, I'm looking at the Cisco 7960, but I'm open to other options.
This seems to be a popular request these days. Most places I've seen call this "shared lines" I thought this was impossible with Asterisk, but somebody kindly pointed me toward the hint() priority as outlined in this older post to this mailing list:

I understand that this only works with the Snom phones (190/200/220).
I Hope that helps.
Thanks, Noah
