I don't remember any mention of needing two phone lines in the blurb in the catalog. It rather baffles me what it would need two phone lines for anyway, since as far as I know, *72 and *73 sequences to the CO affect only the line from which they are dialed. How can it seize a different line from the one on which it is receiving the call and then tell the CO to redirect Call Forwarding on the first line? Now, perhaps one dials in on the second line to tell the box to reprogram Call Forwarding for the first line, but if their box works like the one previously described in the Digest, then there should be no need for the thirty-second wait or canceling and re-establishing Call Forwarding every time a call comes in. The box described sounds like something for a single line. Again, the Radio Shack product may be different.
