I have seen an Emerson Swithboard advertised on tv. Claims to allow concurrent use of phone, computer/modem, fax. Do these workk? If so what's the best brand? I have no high speed connection available where my business is located, so this might be of help for now if it does indeed work. Thanks

yeah i just saw the ad on tv, well i did a quick search and found this http://www.coolstuffontv.com/electronics/switchboard.htm . Read the article carefully and you will see that the article states it "temporarily splits your phone signal into three separate lines", so by the sound of it all it does is put your internet connection on hold and sends the phone call through. Not a bad ideal if your always on the internet and scared of missing calls, but what would really interest me is something that i could keep on surfing while taking phone calls:p . Also read the small print at the end, saying it "requires the help of the call waiting " which reinforces my theory that it just puts the call on hold. Too bad commercials these days are so deceiving.:(
