So the two ports on the box act as a shared line? Say I hook up two analog phones to the 2102. Now I pick up one phone and make a call. If I pick up the other phone I am going to listen in on the conversation?

Could I purchase two DIDs and configure the 2102 to use them both? Or is this also foolish thinking?

Interesting. I have three minutes left on my Internet time, so I won't be able to look up that other box you mentioned. But I should do that.

This is good advice. I am going to have to see how the logistics of this will work out. We are actually thinking about this for a brand new building we are setting up, for which we would like multiple Bell lines but can't afford them. 

Thanks to everybody who is helping me understand this stuff. I really appreciate the crash course (so to speak).
