OBi 212 and 202 now back in stock
N7AS:
The OBi212 only has one phone port that may be internally wired the same as the Phone1 port on the 202. If that is the case, it would work with a 2-Line phone or 2 separate phones using an RJ11 splitter. The OBi212 like the OBi202 can use up to 4 ITSP providers.

It is unlikely that the phone port on a 212 is wired like that. To support two independent phones requires additional interface circuitry compared to one.
I don't have a 212 myself but it would be a trivial test for someone who does to provide a definitive answer.
ProfTech:
I believe all Obi's have 2 ring profiles. So a user can set it up so your phone would ring say 1 long ring for the line and two short rings for the ITSP. Or in the case of the 200, two different ITSP's. I had my 110 set up that way for a long time. It's like having a two line phone with a standard phone set. It does help if your phone has a flash button. Most modern ones do.

Yes they have 2 ring profiles but each of those has 10 cadences which are independently configurable. So in theory 7 different ring patterns are easily available to enable audible differentiation of callls coming in on the 4 Voice Services, Obitalk network, Bluetooth connected cellphone and POTS line. Whether users can recognise that many is a different matter.
A furthermore issue is that some modern phones have sounders which do not follow the ringing cadence. They use the presence of any ringing to initiate and the maintain the playing of their own sound sequence.
