A bit cryptic for somebody so knowledgeable. So where does the problem lie?
Considering that nothing has been changed in months, except for the firmware update, the Obihai which worked fine then didn't work fine, randomly working and then not working, online and then offline. I wasn't the only one experiencing these problems, perhaps a quick search of the previous topics would give further examples, and simultaneously to all these problems occurring, Obihai "offers" their new $10 / year technical support help.
Have you manually updated the firmware yourself? The $10 is really just to have them do this procedure for you. It is an extremely simple procedure and should solve the issues you are having IF you haven't done this.
If not, I have no suggestion. My OBi100 is still working perfectly after the initial bumps caused by the need for manual firmware updates.

I am unclear what your goal is here. Do you need two separate phones on two separate lines? If so, you can easily do that with your existing 100 and the 200 you now also have. That's the way I do it.
Sorry for the delayed response. I realized that I just mixed myself up after I got the device, but I did indeed decide that I only needed the OBi200. I wanted to use more than one phone set and was informed that I really just needed a splitter connector that would give me two phone jacks from the one jack, just like we used to do in the olden days when Bell charged us for each jack.
But now I am interested in how to get two separate phones on two separate lines when I only have the one jack.
You can't.
Your OBi200 can have up to 4 different accounts but has onlý one phone port. So one call at a time.

Yes. Thank you. I finally remembered why I decided on the OBi200 rather than the OBi202 ... because I wanted to add more than one phone system, but did not need the ability to make more than one simultaneous call (I live alone) ... so just adding a jack splitter on the outbound phone line will suffice to allow more than one handset system to be utilized throughout my home.
Thank you for your help.
