What you are looking for is called a HUNT GROUP or ROLLOVER line, a hunt
group usually consists of multiple Channelized T1 or PRI lines that all
answer at the same number, a rollover line is usually multiple individual
POTS (analog) lines that "rollover" to the next if the line is busy with a
call.

This has nothing to do with FreeBSD, it is all dealt with by the telephone
company.  FreeBSD talks directly to the terminating device (modem), not the
phone line.

Subject: Modem Pool


Hello-
I have a question about modem pools.    If I have several dial in 
lines, and I want them to be acessable via one number, is a modem pool 
what I want?  How exactly do they work and is freebsd equipped to 
handle them?  Thanks.
