If you put one of their diallers by the protector, every phone in the house can use the same dialler which is controlled by the Touch Tone pad or Hook Switch flashes. Plus it comes with a supercap that keeps the memory alive for 7 hours if there is a power outage. Not only can any phone in the house dial via a short sequence, you can store numbers that are dialled via built in account codes i.e. selected common carriers or phone credit card numbers that can be accessed during a call. Plus it will "Demon Dial", redial a busy number. Great for calling houses with teenagers. And yes, you can store over 100 numbers in a Demon Dialer.
