Does anyone have any recommendations on some place to get this type of
router?  I too would like to get one - the pick and choose type - to
route calls to my computer or to be answered by me.  Know where I can
get one of these?  Thanx much.

The one I used is made by:

        Rainier Technologies Corp.
        (sorry, I don't have a street)
        Redmond, WA  98052
        
        Model TB-201, Voice/Data Switch

I know of several of these in use and the only problem is if they are
on a bad power line.  The solution is to plug them in to the good EMI
filter you have for your PBX.

If you have any trouble finding the company, please EMAIL me.
