I have mentioned in other messages that I represent
         (I am a manufacturers' rep) Viking Electronics,
         among other companies.
         Viking has a few new products:  One of them is a
         2-line call-sequencer.  If you're on one line, and
         your other line rings, the device will answer the
         line with a very good sounding, recorded-by-you
         message.  It will put the call "on hold" and play
         whatever music you provide.  It will signal you
         that you have a call waiting, on hold.
         After business hours, it will route incoming calls
         to an answering machine (user-provided).
         IF you don't want to answer the call, this is not
         the equipment you want.  IF you do want to take
         advantage of the fact that your customer is right
         there, right now, perhaps this is a good product.
         Even though it is very easy-to-install, the only
         channels of distribution will be telecom equip
         distributors or through installers/interconnects.
         If you want more info, Viking has a FAX-back
         service.  Dial 715 386 4345, enter document number
         062, and, then, enter your FAX number.
         I would be interested in any meaningful comments.
