Ok, I really didn't want to install this, but no one else had, so being the humble tester of free products I am, I did it. I thought it was neat at first to have a phone line that rang to a different phone depending on the person they wanted. However, it never really works. When someone calls, half the time both separate "lines" ring opposite for one call. Its like dualing phones in my house now! I have yet to get the lines to remain separate to my wife and to myself, they both ring with any call. I have unhooked the phone line from my PC right now which is frustrating because I use a home fax through my lexmark. But when someone faxes me, both phones ring until the fax picks up despite the fact that fax is set up as a separate line in the pbx system. Since it is not using actual physical lines but virtual partitions to separate the phone line options.
