Polycoms don't seem to handle this very well. (IP 500, IP 600).
First, you can't disable call waiting, so each line has two call appearances.

If I configure line 1 and line 2 with the same SIP username:
I can dial out from call appearance 1 and call appearance 2 on line 1,
And at the same time:
I can dial out from call appearance 1 and call appearance 2 on line 2.
That's all well and good.

But when both call appearances on line 1 are busy the phone rejects new 
incoming calls - it doesn't roll down to line 2.

Which means this isn't a useful way to use a Polycom as a receptionist phone.
