I'm moving to Watertown, MA, area code 617.  I want two lines
installed, with hunting between them (I don't care if the upper line
hunts back down to the lower one, since I expect I'll only give out
the bottom line in the group).

Now, before I talk to telephone people who probably don't know what's
going on, I'd like to check something.  I recall that hunt groups, of
any size, are free if you just ask for them---no additional charges
over what you'd be charged for N lines that aren't in a hunt group.
Is this correct?

Also, a hypothetical:  while I expect that both lines will have
identical service on them, is it possible to get different types of
service for lines in a hunt group?  (In other words, one line might
have Suburban Contiguous while the other might have a smaller
non-message-unit range or whatever.)

Thanx much.
