The December 11th PC magazine, in a review of various voice/fax/data
switches, mentioned a fax/voice/data switch that is based on
distinctive ringing (known as RingMaster in BellSouth land).  The
manufacturer is Lynx Automation, Inc., 2100 196th St SW #144,
Lynnwood, WA 98036; +1 206 744 1582.  The "RingDirector/2", for $89,
supports two-number distinctive ringing, and the "RingDirector/4", for
$149, supports four-number distinctive ringing.

I have put in a purchase order for one of the four-number boxes, but
it might take a few weeks for me to get it.  If you get one, would you
please let me know what you think of it?
