I installed one of 'um at the drop and had all the phones in the
house on it.  Worked fairly well.  Was neat to just leave the
phone off-hook after telling DD to dial-auto-redial.  When it
made it to a ring-signal, it would beep the phone loudly,
indicating the connection.  That was the slic(est) part.  Not
having to listen to the line for the connection success much like
todays speakerphones.

I think they are discontinued.  Went for around $100.00 as I
recall when sold by Heathkit.

Good luck.  I think I might break-out mine and dust it off...  :-)
