Reuse PTSN line as 2nd line off Obi110

(1/2) > >>

Hortoristic:
Any way to reuse PTSN phone jack as a second line so I could make outgoing calks on SP2 while someone else is already on different call on SP1? Essentially Obi has two different providers - they should be independent of each other but Obi hardware might be the limitation.

RonR:
If you have an ATA, a hardware VoIP phone, a softphone on your PC, or a smart cell phone, you can make additional outgoing calls through the OBi from those sources.  I use a PAP2 to connect an additional telephone to the OBi which is independent of the one connected to the PHONE Port.

Hortoristic:
So this gives two physical phones separate calling?

Geesh - just getting a handle on Obi - now I got to figure out PAP2!  It's all good!  Any other high level benefits by having PAP2?

RonR:
If you get a second incoming call, it will ring the additional phone as well as give a call-waiting indication to the other.

Hortoristic:
Oh - so a two line expandable phone would be the bomb for this. Any PAP2 device you recommend? Or maybe just as cost effective to have two Obi devices.
