Thanks in advance Our local monopolistic telephone company has a service they affectionately call "Smart Ring" which allows two telephone numbers to be assigned to the same line. A $99 box available most everywhere here can detect the two distinctive rings and route the incoming call appropriately. This is ideal when you have a fax and voice on one line. Ask your local phone company. ...brad -- Bradley Head, bhead@hfs.questor.wimsey.bc.ca (NeXTmail :-) InStep Mobile Communications Inc., Vancouver, BC CANADA
