And since Right. How many of us can afford to have two voice lines? I have two lines because I need a dedicated data line. The idea of two voice lines, one published and one unpublished, strikes me as both silly and expensive. J.

Or, they may have two lines with one for voice and the other *primarily* for data, like myself. I still take/make some voice calls on my second line as needed. PAT]
