I have used the RingDirector <tm> four-line box for about three months
and it works quite well.  The Hello Direct catalog only shows the
two-line box, but I got the four-line box by phoning Lynx Automation
directly.

Unlike the two-line box, the four-line model is powered by a plug-in
adaptor and it also has an 'exclusion' switch which works quite well
in preventing an accidentally pucked up voice phone on one line from
fouling-up a data or fax transmission on another.

There seems to be no delay in switching response, and no false ring on
the other lines.  In other words, the detection of ringing codes is
quick and solid.

Hope this gives you a better idea of what you will have when the box
comes in.


Good Day!       JSW
