Is there anything out there that can explain, in detail, what a hunt group is? Is there ever a reason you would want a hunt group set up if you're not using circular hunt? Wouldn't you want to just set up line 1 with CFBL/CFDA programmed to fwd to line 2, and line 2 with CFBL/CFDA programmed to fwd to line 3, and then line 3 CFBL/CFDA programmed to forward to voicemail? (for example) How is having a hunt group with VM aliases set up on each number in the hunt beneficial? I haven't been able to find a site that really explains this and my small company is trying to determine if we can use basic POTS lines in a 3 line hunt or if we would want to go with a pbx. Primarily we're trying to understand this hunt group thing. If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great.
