- In SouthernBell land there are rotaries on two or more exchange ... I
- would recomend (if you can get it from your carrier) that you get call
- forward on busy between the lines ... line 1 on busy forwards to line
- 2 line 2 on busy forwards to line 1 ... I have my lines set up that
- way and I only have to pay $1 for each forward on busy ... a rotary
- would have made be pay about $16 more per line ... and call forward
- busy does the same thing.

- [Moderator's Note: Well this seems to be an applications thing based
- on the volume of calls received. IBT does *not* charge any special
- fees for hunting. It is free as lomg as all the lines are on the same
- exchange. You can pay $1 per call forwarded on busy if you wish, but I
- thought it was too expensive when IBT said each forwarded call would
- cost one 'unit' -- about 3.5 cents here. Even at three cents per call
- forwarded, I'd wind up paying several hundred dollars per month for
- this service, which is useless considering the same thing is free from
- IBT if you ask for 'hunting' instead. PAT]
