It is rather hard for the telco to configure both Data and Voice in a Multi
Line Huntgroup. Now i would not say it is impossible, but around here i'm
happy when the they don't disconnect me..let alone doing something out in
left field.

I would start talking to them about setting up "call forward on busy", this
may make some lights blink on what your asking for. There will be a limit
on the amount of lines you can "roll" through (I'm not sure, it's different
with every telco)
