@arielgrin

What you are asking sounds a lot like “Shared Line Appearance” or SLA.

Thanks for the terminology, knowing what I’m looking for is half the battle!

Andrew Nagy of Sangoma had the following from another thread FPBX12/Asterisk13 - SCA’s, baby

@tm1000

Since it was written in meetme if makes me believe that the functionality could be implemented in confbridge by dynamically generating a confbridge (which is allowed). So using custom.conf files in freepbx you should be able to emulate something very similar to SLAs using this workflow

1. Call comes into FreePBX
2. Route to dynamically generated confbridges
3. BLF subscribe to those bridges
4. when you hang up detect and kill confbridge

Thats a very basic workflow.

another lead:
Achieving Shared CALL Appearance (SCA, not SLA)

@SkykingOH

What you want to do is not supported by FreePBX or Asterisk.

The Channel SLA driver is available outside of FreePBX.
