I see two different but related topics discussed here.

1) How many hops can a forwarded call take?

2) If ending in a hunt group or rotary, can more than one call
   be forwarded at the same time?

Item one has some uses. Item two is very nice if you run a dialin
bank, shall we say in Metro DC, with 10 modems. You can get one line,
in a 'straddle' zone (maybe Howard County) and always forward calls to
the bank. Then up to ten people can benefit from the extended area of
local calling available.

Alas, one method of squelching loops (1) is implementing a block on
(2). For whatever the reason, in the areas of DC where (2) did work,
it seems to no longer.
