- Hi Tracey!
-
- I have the same problem as you do. In my case, the extra phone options that
- usually come with company phones render a modem unusable. My office line had
- to be changed to a line that did not support the myriad (and in my case
- unused) of features (but still went through our PBX). The chief reason is
- that our PBX is at capacity and the management won't do anything about it
- until we move into a bigger building (floating time frames, it seems).
