I don't know about VOIP, that would be great if it could be done. I do
know that CENTREX multiline phones can provide line in use indication
at multiple locations. Several years ago I managed a very large CTX.
Several offices needed what you are looking for. We had phones with
all of the same line appearances on them at three seperate locations.
Worked great, we even had intercom between the stations. The only
restriction was that it needed to be in the same switch. I don't know
what it cost, but technically it's possible. We were served with a
Nortel DMS-100 switch and used the dedicated 'P' phones that worked
with it.
