Hi , I am looking for a good analog phones with 2 or more lines so that I can bridge a VOIP line to a POT line. By bridge, I mean call forward and conference feature. Yes, I know I need an ATA too. Since they do now make such an hydrid phone, Technically, I guess this is my only option.
Any other suggestions or phone model is appreciated.
