easiest way....
voice hunt-group parallel
i.e.
voice hunt-group 99 parallel
pilot 100 !-- "dn" of the hunt group
timeout 90 !-- how long do you want to ring before giving up
list 110,111,112,113,114,115,11
final 101 ! -- where to send the call after the timeout has lapsed.
!
^^ ah sorry... didn't read your version being CME 4.3
theres a nasty way of doing it... using blast.tcl

# application
# service bcast flash:/IVR/bcast.tcl
# param destinations 201,202,203

# dial-peer voice 100 pots
# description broadcast hunt-group
# service bcast
# incoming called-number 5551234
here is how we get around the glaring miss by Cisco to implement a broadcast huntgroup in the CME system...
1) setup one dummy line each for however many simultaneous calls to the main dail-in number you want to be able to answer (i.e. if you want 6 phones to ring, but only expect a maximum of 3 simultaneous calls on the main number, then create 3 dummy lines -- less is better).
2) create a sequential hunt group pilot line as the main number inbound from the FXO and plar the FXO to this number
3) on each of the phones you want to ring, create an OVERLAY button line, overlaying all three dummy lines on the one phone line. If you want a single phone to be able to answer multiple calls to the main number, create a second, or third overlay button line.
Essentially, this is still a sequential hunt group, but since the lines on each phone are set to all three, as the hunt group goes through the sequence, all phones still ring for each sequential line.
Hope this helps.

Connection plar <number> under the FXO port
either set the number to a DN assigned to all phones or to a hunt group pilot number
