[cisco-voip] Poor Man's Intercom

Has anyone tried this?  Any way to make it work with multiple phones simultaneously.  I tried putting a different extension - 32200 through 32203 - on four (4) separate phones.  I set the extension on each phone to Auto Answer with Speakerphone.  I then put those phones in a Line Group with a Distribution Algorithm of Broadcast.  I then set up a Hunt Pilot that points to that Line Group.  When I dial the Hunt Pilot, the first phone in the group answers, the other three (3) disconnect - aka hang up - and then the phone that answered goes to a fast busy after a few seconds.  If I dial the 32200 through 32203 individually, the "intercom" effect works as it should.  Anyone know of a way to make this work on multiple phones simultaneously or is it just not doable.  Just another of those weird thoughts that creep into this old and feeble mind now and then.  I'm also thinking of writing scripts that step through extensions with pre-recorded emergency warnings like "Evacuate the building immediately", etc., so when the route point is dialed it touches every phone in the building.  Anyone done anything similar.  Thank You.
