Here in California (Pacific Bell) there are two seemingly identical
services that have radically different pricing schemes. One is called a
"hunt group" that costs $20/line to install (2 lines == $40, even if
line a -> line b is the only thing you want) + $0.50/month per line.

The other is called "Auto Busy Forwarding" that is $10 to install for
the a->b and $3.50/month ...

All of my questions to the various people on the phone (and their
supervisors ...) brought no concrete answers ("Oh, well, yes, I suppose
it *does* sound like the same service, doesn't it?" ... it's tough to
get good help these days ...)

[Actually the first-year pricing is exactly the same.  Call
 Forwarding-Busy goes one step farther than regular hunting in that it
 will work across exchanges.  If you want some more fun, try and have
 them explain the difference between Call Forwarding-Busy and Call
 Forwarding-Busy/Extended. -elmo]
