- Our local monopolistic telephone company has a service they affectionately
- call "Smart Ring" which allows two telephone numbers to be assigned to the
- same line. A $99 box available most everywhere here can detect the two
- distinctive rings and route the incoming call appropriately. This is ideal
- when you have a fax and voice on one line. Ask your local phone company.
