tmsoft currently uses one line for receiving business calls during the day,
originating business & uucp calls during the day, and receiving and
originating uucp calls at night.  As we add uucp connections, this is becoming
a somewhat inconvenient way to do things.

My question is, what is the cheapest kind of phone line to get (if there is
any choice)?  I would not want the phone number listed, and I would not want
a handset.  As TM Software is operated out of my home, a personal line is an
option, but I would prefer not (to simplify book-keeping).

The $50/month standard business line seems awfully expensive for this purpose.
I ask this question because I have no confidence that anyone at Bell knows how
the fare structure works, let alone whether they would tell me of a cheaper
alternative to the standard line (this opinion formed from past experience).

Thanks,
