You could do the following:

1)      Setup your actual user as a 'phantom user' - do NOT assign a phone (you 
'may' want to use the username as the ext, so it can match the logged in user 
on the computer network)

2)      Setup your 'workstation phones' as users (user & phone) with an 
extension (ext. 2001, 2002, etc) - this user would be named workstation 
1,2,3,etc.

3)      Develop a small program or web page that would modify call forwarding 
for the actual user in question via soap/rest apis (depending on the phone, and 
number of users, it could be written to work with the microbrowser on the 
polycom phones).

4)      On logon, the app would modify call forwarding for the 'phantom user' 
and route calls to the workstation phone number.

The softphone option would obviously be much easier...

Sounds like "hoteling" you familiar with that?

What brand is the phone?  If it's a soft phone, it can be programmed to 
automatically register/unregister as you desire.  No need to create a "phone" 
object.
