also as soon as you split up a line with a ringmate box you lose incoming caller id unless there is a killer caller id box out there that resends the fsk info after it decides what line is ringing that I don't know about.

It does NOT detect distinctive ring from the phone company. Your best bet is to use a dist. ring box from a company like Commshare as Erling recommended. That can feed the co ports on the ksu, then the ksu will show them on different buttons. I would not use it for a business line if the line absolutely had to be kept separate from the home line. In other words, if the unit errs and a business call is answered by someone at home, will that be a problem? I used distinctive ring for a fax line for many years and it worked fine most of the time, sometimes it did not work properly but it was a minor problem for me as recieved very few faxes. Also, you should realize that if you only have one line and a call has been answered by one of the kids, say, and you're expecting a business call, that call will not get through until your teen hangs up. One line = one call at a time Charles -- _________________________________________________________________ KX-T Mailing list --- http://kxthelp.com/ Subscription changes: http://kxthelp.com/mailman/listinfo/kxt -- No virus found in this incoming message.
