I just called Bell Atlantic Business Supplies to find out about their RingLeader product ($54.95). The person on the other end wanted to ask me a few questions beforehand to make sure the product would work for my situation. He said that there had been problems with some applications of the product. After talking to him, I decided it was worth gamble to save $40 and go with their product. I later found out that they are "9 in the hole" and that the RingLeader was backordered until early February. At that point I decided I would wait. Hello Direct has the Lynx Automation RingDirector/2 in the catalog for $99.95, but a previous posting said you can get it for $89.95 directly from Lynx. Both appear to have privacy switches but I'm trying to figure out why is there a $35-45 difference in the two products? Is there some reason why I should pay the extra money for the RingDirector/2 or should I just save my money and wait for the RingLeader? Jack Winslade gave some good info on the RingDirector in a recent posting. Can anybody provide the same for the RingLeader? Are there any other models out there? Hello Direct says they only package in paper -- ``no styrofoam mess or ozone hazard''. Does Lynx do this?

For example their headsets are good quality, but two or three times more expensive than those at Radio Shack, or even the local AT&T Phone Center for that matter. PAT]
